  "account": "Deep sea exploration and restaurant management game Dave the Diver has surpassed 10 million copies sold across all platforms, according to developer Mintrocket. The In the Jungle expansion, released in June, has also achieved over one million sales. Dave the Diver was an unexpected hit, earning a 91% review score at PC Gamer and selling more than a million copies within just ten days. Despite being a division of Nexon, a major gaming company, Mintrocket considers Dave the Diver a genuine indie game. The success of Dave the Diver, which continues to improve with post-launch updates and integration with other games, is credited to the passion and dedication of its developers. Game director Jaeho Hwang expressed excitement about expanding the franchise, including future titles like Bancho The Chef, a prequel cooking simulation set to release before 2026.",
