POSTAL 2 kept 60% of the average players it had at its launch in November 2012 after 3 months and 48% after 12 months. Monthly averages, ranked against every game we can score. How we count
POSTAL 2 Live a week in the life of "The POSTAL Dude"; a hapless everyman just trying to check off some chores. Buying milk, returning an overdue library book, getting Gary Coleman's autograph, what could possibly go wrong?
