Despite a rocky start with lag problems, server issues and getting their game cracked by pirates, Funcom have managed to sell 320,000 copies of barbarian survival game Conan Exiles. This first week of sales placed them at the top of Steam’s global bestseller list and means that Funcom have actually recouped their losses from developing the game. As a result, Funcom is now ready to press on with further development and adding new features during the game’s Early Access phase.
