Goat Simulator

 * ... that Goat Simulator was released on April Fools' Day?
 * Alt ... that within six months of release, Coffee Stain Studios' Goat Simulator, a joke-filled result of an internal game jam, outsold the developer's previous releases over the prior four years?

 * I'm providing what I think is a bit more interesting hook having written much of the original article. (Not that the 4/1 release is not interesting but I think there's other more DYK-worthy interesting facts). --M ASEM (t) 06:34, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg New GA, interesting, well-written and -referenced, hook facts are cited and no paraphrasing issues detected on spotcheck. (I almost want to play this game, just for the heck of it...) I too clearly prefer the suggested ALT hook. Good to go, except that a QPQ review by nominator is outstanding.

 * I didn't realise I had to give a QPQ if it wasn't a self-nomination. I've now reviewed this nomination. :) Freikorp (talk) 22:28, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg OK then, this is good to go! Constantine  ✍  13:14, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * This seems like a good topic for an April Fool's Day DYK, but I can't come up with a catchy line. AHeneen (talk) 08:22, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
