I have no idea where he's from. I said I wouldn't quit my job for $4k. But that's the thing... people just assume a dev lives somewhere where that's a lot of money. I've seen it so many times. You don't know that. And on top of that, it's not really going to be consistent. Subs could leave after a release and the number drops. Would you really bet your financial security on such flimsy income?
Exactly, besides just because you make 4K doesn't mean you cash out 4K. More like 1K if you're lucky, after buying assets to keep the game fresh and paying your society dues.
$1K lol. You do realise that 99% of the assets used are available for free. If people are paying so much for assets when they are available for free so easily, they have nobody to blame but themselves.
not sure how many people actually use free assets for these games however. I've heard more than once about devs spending 20k - 50k on assets + licenses.
Completely agree, 4k a month US is a lot more than most people in the US make. Its disgusting to me that anyone would suggest that is low amount of money to make unless like you said they expect to buy whatever, whenever they want.
You're out of your depth! On here and another famous render site. The best and most popular assets on Daz, are leaked literally days after its been released. Just like VNs.
And you're assuming the worst - so the real answer is probably somewhere in the middle.
So not only are you naive but also illiterate. Some of the people on this forum shouldn't be allowed near a keyboard
Oh shit, you're right.
First off, I agree that Patreon income is not stable enough for myself personally (I would still maintain a simple day job at that point), but I took issue more with the statement that a regular income of around 4000$ would not be enough for the average person to live comfortably. When in fact, in most of the world, that kind of income would be a godsend.
I don't think I ever said that, though... and it's highly contextual on where someone lives. All I said was that I wouldn't quit my job for that amount, because for me, that's low. A three bedroom apartment where I live would be roughly $2.8K/month. Nearby areas even higher. The main point is, though, unless someone here knows Bobby's financial situation, how can we tell what's enough for him to quit a regular job and do this full-time?
Yeah, some areas just cost more to live in, even in the same country or even city, and it has nothing to do with quality, I live in a 2 story, 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment which is only around €700/month, you probably live in a very expensive area.
