Your comment is the most cringey thing I've seen this Aprill Fools so far.

And here I was worried this sort of thing was subjective, and that I liked some of them. Thanks for setting me straight bud.
You’re hearing about this one because you’re on a videogame website. A lot of people from a lot of entertainment sectors do it all the time with sleeper hits. I’m surprised you’re surprised...
It must be without support. That’s why so many countries make sure to never implement nationalised health ca-
Ah yes, the good ol’ “well I’m following the LETTER of the law, not the SPIRIT” attitude.
You mean they’re being denied access then. Because of the costs.
You’re numbers are not apples to apples, yes, together they are bringing in 72k, so 36k each. A household with two new teachers would be making 76k.
Dammit I didn’t want to feel sad this morning!
lmao no wonder you love it, you get paid by the system that people hate
they could easily be millionaires by now
Ehh, I get what you’re saying, but frankly, it would be wasting talent for Tarn to work for some big developer. Dwarf Fortress is a gem of a game, and it’s procedural elements could easily end up being the future of gaming. For art and industry, you need outsiders making outlier products to have breakthroughs and…
They don’t have a monetization strategy. The games that make money use patreon as a paywall for features and fast ring access. These two release everything for free. They only have one tier, and it’s $1.

I’m making a pretty decent living at this point, but if my company weren’t paying a big portion of health insurance costs and that chunk was suddenly removed from what I normally receive, things would get way dicier and I’d probably have…
This fucking country, I swear...
That’s my plan. My fiance gets government healthcare because she’s on disability, and every few months she has to jump through massive bureaucratic hoops as they continually try to take it away from her (which will kill her). I work in the games industry where there’s little-to-no stability, so putting her on my own…
He could always move to... [checks notes] ...any other first-world country
As someone who’s been in the industry for over a decade, and who’s now trying to break into indie game development, I’m completely gobsmacked at how little these folks are making on Patreon for this game.
Just wanna throw it out there that if you like this kind of thing, the best way to get more of it is to make sure the creators get paid. I *know* there’s some folks out there thinking “$6K/month, they’re living large!” but even for two people + associated other expenses, $6K/mo, depending on where you are, can be…
Good for them. High on the list of folks who deserve to cash in on their work.
