Because they do not earn enough money from Dominions to survive on that alone, they have to work normal jobs like most other people. Thus any work on Dominions must be in their spare time.
I think we are talking at cross-purposes. Perhaps we just have vastly different ideas of how the world functions or should function, and we probably won't understand each other on this point.

Well I think the point that is trying to be expressed is: If IW could afford to spend the amount of time that most other larger developers could on the game and project because of having the funds to allow them to do it, they would. As it is current, they do not have the funds it would take to represent 8-12 hours of work a day into their gaming business because it has not provided enough profit that they can do so without fear of stability of the income.

How often would you go to work for no paycheck? Then on top of going because you loved your job, how would you survive financially for you and your family with that job?

The best you can hope for is that Dom2 becomes a mammoth success, gives enough assurance of stability and potential income that JK and KO would even think about committing to it beyond what they can spare.

Of course, I'll discuss this with them when I go to their yacht party and maybe they'll think about it.
