    I just learned about this game yesterday. It only took 3 rounds of online play to convince me to upgrade my account.

    That's about 9,000 to 10,000 dollars! Congrats!
    (I said 9,000-10,000 because the first 100 accounts were 9 dollars)

    You guys don't know anything about taxes ! It's 7000$ at best, maybe less :(
    And the game was cheaper before (8$) and MM gave free gift codes for contests

    Anyway, great work, I hope it will continue to raise, you guys deserve it

    I think there will be a lot more premium purchases as more and more features get added. I'm really hoping so, since I'd love to see more US gold players and hopefully a dedicated US gold server.

    They totally deserve it, great game guys

    If I was trying to get a accurate number I would have looked that stuff up, I was just throwing out a approximation.

    7k euro /2 = 3.5k euro

    3.5k euro / 6 months of development = 380 euro

    380 euro = average monthly salary in Poland

    No, they're definitely not making a killing.

    We're certainly not rich (paypal take a cut, desura take a bigger one, so do gamersgate, that split between us after tax...) but if this purchase rate kept up then we might be in business as such.

    I hope the purchase rate keeps up, or even accelerates; I'm really looking forward to more content in the game, and it would be nice for the creators and team to get paid for their effort.

    Maybe some of you all arent that old, because thats not that much money as far as a business goes. Its expensive to run a business, even if there are only two of you. Web servers, game servers, etc all cost money :P Thats ignoring food, rent/house payment, etc.

    Noburu is right. I don't know if Geti and MM have another job or if this is their job, but of course there are more costs than most of us know.
