It is insane to me how much money this game is making, the lowest estimate (that being if every member was the lowest tier) is $4615 a month, that's $55,380 a year.
T-hoodie is living better than all of us from cute elf boy. (btw highest estimate is $55,380/month $764,244/year)
First, all of the payment are in euros.
Second, the €15 subscription is the most popular one.
In order to be "most popular", you have to be the most plural.
Let's use 1801 members as a ballpark amount. And I've tried min-maxing to the lowest denominator possible.
901*15 = 13515
900*2 = 1800
(13515 + 1800)/2 (because dutch taxes takes half of your fucking shit at this amount, and I'm rounding up to 50% because BTW {normally 9% VAT for dutch}) * 12 months = 92k euros per year after income taxes.
Now, this is just the
bare minimum estimation. And doesn't include merch, non-patreon donations (like extra money from itchio) and some tweaking the tiers closer to the higher brackets... you're looking at the real number being well beyond 100k euros per year after taxes. Now, this is of course beyond the earnings of the dutch middle class (even accounting the taxes and the shitshow that Rutte has presided). Even for Germans, this is barely above middle class.
