I was just wondering about all the amazing games on this website and which games turn a profit and how much. Like Being a Dik, summertime saga, huniepop and summer memories which are in the high end of both quality and fame factor, where I imagine they make a fair amount of money on sales and crowdfunding. But how does it trickle down from that scale? Like games like Mist, another chance and so on, where do they fit on the scale of profits? And where is the line where the profits are the same as the expenses? I'm not sure if it's a stupid question, because I can just search for their Patreon, but I wanted to hear you guys' thoughts

Well, going with the data Count Morado provide, most of the devs earns less than your average minimum wage job do - at least where I live:

Sure, some very famous devs make a "shit ton" of money and the sales figures from Steam, GOG, Epic or soe are not included
As always all data used are the ones available. For a "full" image of what an adult game dev earns, you would need to make a poll for this specific topic and hope that enough devs answer it.
Also, 100 USD per month, depending on where you life have very different spending power.
