Hmm, lets see. At approx $40 retail, say Malfador gets $20 per game. (Probably high.)
Low end programmer salary, $60,000, plus overhead, might bring that up to $90,000.
Thus, one more programmer is roughly 4500 sales/year. That is just to break even, maybe.
The numbers can be better or worse than this, but it shows that games at this level are not done to get rich.... |
