If TESO can have most of its sales (PC only so far) outside of Steam so can Risen, which was actually released on consoles, not just PC.

I agree. Also lot of their sales comes from Germany and many people in Germany don't like steam (based on World of Risen forums) etc and they were asking for non DRM version of Risen3.

It was quite clear that R3 didn't sell well, because there was no accouncement on sales numbers.
I pretty much expected R3 to do badly, due to an effect you can observe quite often: The bad or mediocre game (here: R2) sells decently. Then the backlash comes with the next game, although it's usually better than the last.
But these numbers are outright terrible.

In terms of exploration, freedom, combat and graphics Risen 3 is much better than Risen 2. But quest and dialog writing looks quite amateurish. Plus many German to English translation errors in the dialogs make the experience worse. But still an enjoyable game for any PB fan who play their games for that nice exploration feeling. Because it features much more diverse environments than previous game.
