Steam's most-anticipated city-builder racks up another 500,000 wishlists - after solo dev's girlfriend guessed it would only get 7,000 total

Manor Lords.

Manor Lords, the hotly-anticipated medieval city-builder that recently became the most-wishlisted game on Steam, has gained 500,000 prospective players in the past three months - far more than its solo developer's girlfriend predicted it would ever gain.
