Surely they must be including the EGS giveaway and PSN & GamePass, because 14 million seems insanely high for this kind of release.
Especially since it came to PS Plus only 7 months after release
Huge congrats for such a unique game.
This shows us that it currently does not pay for third party studios to make exclusivity agreements. Launch your game on consoles and PC simultaneously.
Other games that were successful when released on PC and at least some console:
-Palworld

Helldivers
Final Fantasy and other exclusive games that had low sales could have maximized their revenue if they released at least on PC. I'm sure if it were released for PC, Playstation, Switch and XBox, sales could be much higher.
Massive congratulations
