I'd replace really with often: There are times where I couldn't give a crap about DLC, but there are others - I'm looking at you Paradox - where I'm affronted at the total cost of acquiring licenses and know full well I'm missing out on necessary game features without at least some of the DLC.

Thankfully they've introduced a subscription plan, so I can chuck them five bucks for the month I actually play something like EU4; Now if only they'd do it with Stellaris, as there's no way I'm buying $200+ worth of DLC for it when I know I'll stop playing the game after a month or two and not likely revisit it for a year or more.

Sure - top ten, in the US only, two months into the year, leaning on 60s and 70s nostalgia, with overt religion-specific messaging - albeit by all accounts not too heavy-handed: That's pretty niche, my dude.

It's really not surprising to me that nobody on an international forum has talked about this film before you did; Particularly given that Reddit can oft bear the reputation in some circles of being a hive of scum and villainy.

Probably because it's an extreme niche.

For example when I look now, it's not available on any streaming platform in the UK, nor screening at any cinemas who list online. I expect similar will be true for other nations in the anglosphere, and it's presence in countries outside the anglosphere will be even smaller than it's non-existence here.

Films covering religious topics absolutely can be mainstream, but from what I am reading about this film - and there's plenty coming up on google searches, so I don't know why you'd be having difficulty finding information on it - this is primarily a faith-affirming flick and not just a movie about a religious topic; It's reach therefore will be limited to those people who are interested in such an experience, just as one might imagine a particularly soppy romcom's or an obscene horror's reach will be limited to a specific audience, too.

More to the point, why were you looking for information about a movie you've already seen?

Is your PC in an alcove, or is that a dividing wall?

I ask because it seems a shame not to have your PC in range to also be plugged into the TV, should the need or want arise to do some couch gaming on it. Likewise having the PC hooked up to that amplifier and speakers might be nice!

If you're implying that this invalidates the metric somehow, I'd remind you that those games are Minceraft and GTA5; Two of the most popular and culturally significant games ever created, and two games for which every gamer knows the development studio's name.

I'd also point out that best selling != most profitable. The most profitable ones absolutely do come from Japan and the USA: Pokemon and CoD!

Is it already well known?

The best selling video game of all time was created by a Swedish developer, the second best a Scottish developer. Between them, they've sold more than the rest of the top ten combined.
