🚀 Mina the Hollower from Yacht Club Games sold over 300,000 copies in its first three days and pretty much SAVED the studio, a 3D Shovel Knight project was put on ice during production.
The team deliberately skipped discounts and stuck to a fixed price of $20. Sean Velasco calls it one of 2026's highest‑rated games: sales pace trails big franchises, but strong critic reviews should secure a healthy long tail.
🔥 Yacht Club Games says Mina the Hollower shifted over 300,000 copies in its first three days and basically SAVED the studio from a cash crunch.
They even froze the 3D Shovel Knight project during development, betting on a no-discount launch at a fixed price of $20. CEO Sean Velasco calls it one of 2026's highest-rated games, sales pace trails major franchises, but sterling reviews should deliver a strong, long tail.
🔥 Mina the Hollower shifted 300 thousand copies in its first three days, Yacht Club Games told Bloomberg's Jason Schreier.
Sean Velasco says the launch lets the studio keep operating without layoffs or outside investors FOR NOW. The game took over 6 years, a second 3D project was paused and reserves burned to finish it, now out on PC (Steam, GOG), PS5, Xbox Series and Switch, with Russian language included.

🏆 Mina the Hollower, a modest indie from Yacht Club Games, topped Metacritic's 2026 list with a 92, nudging out heavyweight Forza Horizon 6.
The gothic adventure spent six years in development; studio head Sean Velasco calls it a survival project. To keep players and avoid outside funding they deliberately priced it at $20, proving the low-price strategy (see last year's Silksong) turns the game into a must-buy, a real STEAL.

Domani: Olimpiadi a Milano, Torino e Genova? I dream team curano l’ordinario. E imparano dagli errori
Un progetto olimpico non si annuncia, si valuta, si costruisce con buon senso, visione, cultura organizzativa e cooperativa che (lo dice Velasco e lo conferma Harward) fa la differenza tra un’illusione e una squadra, tra un’operazione di immagine e un’eredità che resta
Milan, Turin, and Genoa for the Olympics? The Dream Team manages the routine. And they learn from their mistakes.
An Olympic project isn’t announced, it’s evaluated, built with common sense, vision, organizational and cooperative culture – (Velasco says this and Harward confirms it) that makes the difference between an illusion and a team, between an image operation and a legacy that remains.
Le parole di Velasco all'incontro con Mattarella al Quirinale.
Parole di chi conosce e vive il mondo, senza alzare muri, senza cercare di dividere, senza spingere per l'intolleranza e la discriminazione.
Quello che molti politici attualmente al governo non capiranno mai, restando fuori dal progresso, dal futuro, della storia.
