Very well said. You echo my feelings precisely. I'm about to surpass 1,000 hours in the game, so I would never complain about not liking the game or not having anything to do. I'm a builder. I find the building in this game alone endlessly enjoyable.
a thousand fricking hours playing one video game

Didn't they make like 20 million fricking dollars off this game? And they couldn't even get a SINGLE content patch out in a year?

I think they made like $200k in revenue and $100k in profit

As of April they sold an astonishing ten million copies at $20 each. Assuming taxes, Valve cut, and whatever their publisher might take, they couldn't possibly have left with less than $7 million. A few extra programmers even in LA would only cost them less then a twentieth of that amount and still let their very small team each be millionaires.

I think the number of copies sold is what is interesting about this. A game can have millions of copies and still have no profit if they cost pennies to make.

1K hours into Valheim? That is insane.
I don't get what people are sneeding about, the shit is just let Terraria. Buy it, play it once with friends, then play it again in 2 years when it's finished.
