i mean.. that's nice. but damn. If they dont qualify as deserving to reap their rewards... I dont know who does! Edit: It seems like they may be vaguely referencing Markus "Notch" Persson's cash flush success after selling Minecraft. I think just being self aware enough to be worried about how "money" might change them should be enough to settle their worries. Notch had a rough time for a while, but he was always a very public person... these guys are a lot less public and I'd suggest less susceptible to being led astray... but who knows I guess.

> these guys are a lot less public and I'd suggest less susceptible to being led astray They were in a niche, staying away from the "big players". Now that they join Steam, they'll be inevitably dragged in to "public" (if you'd like to call it that way). I really hope that... - ... they can handle it - ... they can deal with the negative reviews of that kind of player that don't understand the concept of the game. For a newb, this can be a really frustrating game. I keep my fingers crossed.

What better reward is there to reap than doing what you love?

Why do you feel it's alluding to Notch? There are plenty of game developers who've struck it rich and the Dwarf Fortress authors' concerns about sudden wealth seem pretty specific to them.

  They both rely on procedural generation to build worlds and give users some degree of creative control to build things. But one became a billionaire and spends his days on twitter whining about how hard it is to be white.

    I don't see anything about that in the interview.
