According to game designer Edmund McMillen,The Binding of Isaachas sold more than 700,000 copies to date. This was made possible with help from the “Wrath of the Lamb”expansion, which sold 1/5th of the overall sales in “less than three weeks.”
“Who would have thought a game about an abused child fighting off his mother with his tears could ever sell 700k copies in less than a year? Not me, that’s for f**king sure,” said McMillen. Since the launch of the add-on was “a bit rocky,” the team has put out afree updatethat includes fixes and new content ranging from achievements to music to yet another ending.
“This is also a big thank you to the fans who have honestly carried this game to stardom, we are eternally grateful for your support, creativity and devotion. 700k is a big number… maybe it’s time to bring this thing to console. ;)”
