Ori and the Blind Forest.

The developer of Ori and the Blind Forest has revealed the Metroidvania series has sold around 10 million copies when it could've bankrupted its developer. 

The director of Ori and the Blind Forest has taken to Twitter to show off their latest purchase. Along with a photo of the Neo Geo (one of the most expensive consoles of all time when adjusted with inflation) and a copy of Metal Slug 3, Thomas Mahler writes: "If Blind Forest would have flopped back then, we would've been bankrupt as a studio."
