@melee.gaming: 2 DEVS BUILT A HIDE-AND-SEEK GAME IN 2 MONTHS — AND SOLD 7 MILLION COPIES IN 12 DAYS 2 devs. 2 months. $0 marketing. 7 million copies in 12 days. 💀 MECCHA CHAMELEON is a Steam hide-and-seek game where you paint your own character to blend into the environment — and it just became one of the fastest-selling games of 2026. 1M copies in 4 days. 7M at 12 days. That pace beats Crimson Desert's 83-day run and matches Resident Evil Requiem — the fastest-selling RE ever. Peak concurrent players: 340,000. No ads, no publisher, no budget. W or L for every AAA studio watching this happen? 👇 #MecchaChameleon #SteamGaming #IndieGaming #Gaming #GamingNews
and companies STILL think that youtubers and streamers arent what makes game popular. without creators, this and lethal company and among us and REPO wouldnt have ever been popular

not to mention literally the only good thing is the concept 😭 ui is mid, game is buggy, graphics weird, but still gives a great time

they need to understand that people don't want to spend 60€ on a game that they may end up not enjoying, but they are willing to spend 5 on a game that you can just hop on and get straight into fun with some friends, without 500 micro transactions and with great mod support

And they deserve every single $! They created a nice game with open map support, millions of players, its about 6,50€ so everyone can afford it. Every single good game of the last years has been some indie game - AAA titles not good anymore

Without the prop hunt concept made years before in Garry’s mod (and COD) this may have never existed.

It’s literally like when Minecraft dropped. It may not be anything crazy and may just be a fad, but it’s fun to watch

how many success stories like this (lethal company, among us, mouthwashing, the exit 8, buckshot roulette) will it take for AAA publishers to realise we don’t want endless reboots made with $400,000,000 budgets, we just want FUN GAMES

It’s a great game but part of what makes it so popular is its ability to stream.
