A popular indie game is not so surprising. What's surprising is the sheer magnitude of the profits: $359,000 in daily profits -- a $131 million profit run rate.

A popular indie game is not so surprising. What's surprising is the sheer magnitude of the profits: $359,000 in daily profits -- a $131 million profit run rate. Pure profit. It's conceivable that Notch will become a cash billionaire over the next few years if the growth continues. That's just insane.
