You know it's not 1 mil per year, it's 1 mil over your lifetime
- mh- 3mo agoThe vast, vast majority of indie game devs will not see $1m in revenue in multiple lifetimes.
- streetfighter64 3mo agoYou typically only win the lottery once as well... It's 1 mil at the release date of the game and the following maybe 3-6 months. Game sales usually happen at the release date and then there's a pretty much insignificant "long tail" of sales. Anyway, while 1 million isn't really enough to retire instantly, for sure it lets you retire 10-20 years earlier if you're just a little bit smart with money.
