They sold at least 5.92m copies, which amounts to roughly usd177m revenue(roughly usd124.32m after steam cut), and with the playerbase tanked from 2.1m peak to 682k peak in just 14 days, they can survive for a veeery long time with that kind of money.
Oh, my sweet summer child. That money is already spent.
And in this exhibit we see an example of “uncreative condescension”. Note the certainty of tone, the diminutive treatment of others, and the unoriginal text selection. Truly a great specimen for our museum of narcissistic comments. Please, don’t tap on the glass or it may try to condescend to you too.
Yeah, the devs did say server costs were killing them,IIRC. Probably some of the reason for the relatively minor updates since launch has been putting out the fire of ballooning cloud expenses.

I guess we can call your reply creative condescension?
Am I fighting fire with fire? Have I become the very thing I hate?
100%. Actually true.
I am guilty. And somewhat ashamed.
Spent on what? Please do tell
Probably AWS stuff. An application that hasn’t been designed to scale well can get very expensive very quickly.
Iirc the hosting cost so far is a few hundred thousand dollar. So far. But with the tanking of player base the price might get lower the coming month.
