I see people on reddit mention it once in awhile with a lot of nostalgia posts following but no one really cares enough to actually play.
I am all for cussing and smack talking once in a game, but I'm disappointed the FB group's public description uses profanity and references tea bagging... Not exactly the most professional thing to be associated with. (Like it or not, employers and colleagues Facebook stalk everyone).

Edit: Can you give a link to the DF1 group? I can only find the DF2 group when I look.

Also, I am in absolute shock, but DFX2 has 35,841 likes on Facebook. It must have sold way more copies than I'd ever imagined... they used almost no new assets, same engine, etc. so their profit margin must've been enormous on every unit sold. Being generous and assuming one in five people that bought the game Liked it on Facebook, sales would be at 179,205, yielding a gross revenue of $3,584,100 (assuming everyone purchased at $20/copy).

There is no way that's right... DFX1 has under 5k likes, and DFX2's marketing was abysmal... did many people even play that game? I know they found it in Osama Bin Laden's house during the raid. Sorry to go off on a tangent...
