Larian’s Swen Vincke posted a tweet yesterday showing the game hitting 500,000 concurrent players, making it the third most played game on all of Steam He said that he told IT to only expect 100,000 concurrents at max.
surprised how successful this was since it barely got a mention all the time it was in early access so thought it would have a relatively mild release but no the g*mers heard bear sex and everyone flooded in to buy it.
I think it's more so that "bear sex" was just joke-worthy enough that people talked about the game that otherwise wouldn't talk about it and news of the game spread beyond its usual corners of the internet. So more people heard of the game and I guess the openness that "bear sex" entails is pretty appealing for a CRPG.

Its more that no one wanted to burn themselves out on early access before the real thing came out but actually it was the bear sex
2.5 million copies sold in EA, but barely got a mention? ok...
