As indie game dev myself I totally agree with you, but while DF is special it still had usual marketing compaign and that big release date. My guess it will likely perform even worse than projection since a lot of people who played DF for years bought it more like a donation. E.g more of people who bought it wont actually play it much and game will game less of natural social marketing out of these sales. Again I not saying that Toady gonna abandon the game, but sales will go down in coming months and it's very unlikely that in coming years they'll get another $7M of sales in one month.
