Best-selling indie games of 2019 sale

Without knowing the exact criteria used to select the games, some of these are pleasant surprises. I wouldn’t have necessarily expectedSteamWorld QuestorMy Friend Pedroto pop up as best-sellers in a concise year-end sale, but either way, neat.

Three other big-hitting indie titles–Katana Zero,Wargroove, andUntitled Goose Game–also appeared in the Indie World recap video. They aren’t being discounted, but they’re all very good games.
