Way of getting more money for Wolfire

[RobotCreeper]

WolfireGames should become a Youtube partner, get some ads going on their videos (I don't mind ads on videos anyway)
Since they get about 60k views on each of the update videos, they should be able to get some extra cash.
Yay or nay?

they do the Humble bundle.

Actually the money from humble bundles is not going for making OG a better game, it goes for making humble bundles (making ports for windows, Mac Linux and Android). They also need to pay for download servers and internet connection. There is probably more but i hope you get the picture.

Also they have sold OG to 22101 preorderers at this moment. This means that they should have 22101*$29.95=$661924.95 but this is not the right amount of money they have earned. They had a bundle with natural selections game and back then they sold OG less than $29.95
So who knows how much money they have earned and how much money they have spent and will spend in the future.

We are already YouTube partners.

Where are those numbers from? I've been looking for that!

There is a members button under the search box. click on it and now choose Find a member in front of the all A B C.... now there is a menu there where you can select Group Overgrowth preorderer

That's clever.

That's clever.

It's not an "exact" number though, as it only shows people that have preordered, and registered their game to their forum account. It doesn't take into consideration, for example, people that received a free gift copy from the NS2 bundle, but have not registered it, or who did register it... So sadly, that number will never be completely accurate.

Also, the price has been, and will be at least through release, $29.95, so using that as an estimate is probably still ok, you your number will always be higher than their actual revenue. (Also realize that they don't just "have" the money, they have been using it to develop the game for more than 3.5 years, and there are significant expenses in that time...)

And there have been at least two people working the whole time, for quite a while it was five people.

Agreed... and I would imagine that if those 5 people kinda "started" together, everyone of them must have some kind of stake in it... Even though Phillip is gone now, his contributions are crucial to the game even to this day!
