So i ran some numbers cause i'm bored as fuck and should be studying, also thank you random internet guy the reason i'm joining is for degenerates like us to be able to fap to all the porn we can find, and please anyone tell me if this is wrong, and i'm sure i'm not the only one who has done this but i'm not gonna read through 1887 pages of replies
But judging from Graphtreon, the last amount we are able to see that icstor was making was in 2017, where he made around $8 per patron (calculated average) and had about 1400 patrons, meaning he pulled in around 11,100 a month, with a 5% patreon cut that gives us $10,545 a month. So if we follow that trend and use the calculated average of that year, and apply it to this month, that would mean that icstor pulled in, from his 7823 current patrons, $62,584 from one month after patreons cut we get $59,454, which i dont know how patreon works as I'm not a content creator on there, but he just pulled in a lower middle class family's salary in a single month. If we use the average amount of patrons he had this in January of 2019 (5,300ish), then we'll get $42,400 for one month, $40,280 after patreons cut, times that by what 10? cause he halted payments for 2 months? We get $402,800 minimum in this single year. Assuming taxes and shit icstor will make out with well over a quarter of a million dollars from doing some of the slowest work i've ever seen
This is the kind of shit that makes me not want to donate to him, simply because he has proved time and time again to be unreliable and untrustworthy, the guy is making bank from sitting on his ass and crying about having "mental health problems" as if we all arent fucked in the head ourselves
Am i missing something here? I mean, excuse my ranting and what not but how the fuck can anyone still defend this guy? I think the reason icstor acts like this is because he didnt expect his shit to jump like this, hes in way over his head.
It cant possibly cost that much to make his game, i've seen indie devs do so much more with so much less, hat in time's original kickstarter budget was like 300,000, and icstor has made so much more money than that and has delivered so much less content in the 2+ years hes been developing this
I love his content and would really love to support him, but not until he sorts this shit out. rant over
