Populous™: The Beginning

Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.

Every market we collect.

Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.

Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

For scale, across GOG · Trending · United States over the last 30 days: the 141 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 2 places away from #1, and the 6,571 moves with no price cut behind them went nowhere. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.

Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

How fast this game is gaining ratings — the activity signal available where a store publishes no sales or install numbers.

Measured from our own daily snapshots, not reported by the store. Deliberately not converted into sales: a one-tap rating's ratio to copies sold is unknown on this platform, and guessing it would be worse than leaving it out.

Matched by title — a reused name can pair the wrong games. * is a critic aggregate. Prices and positions are each store's United States storefront; Epic charts worldwide. Audience and Score too, except Steam's, which is worldwide.
