This game is sooo gonna rape. Just gotta convince my broke ass friends to spend the 10 bucks. Well worth it to support fellow gamers!	Posted by Janemba999#4125 on Aug 16, 2012, 12:33:40 AM Quote this Post

Best of luck, GGG! Believe me when I say that I am hoping you guys succeed in a huge way! While I appreciate your sentiment, we do get by on less than $500k per month :) Until this month, I had never been paid by the company. Now I can eat. You guys looking for interns? Many of us would be willing to work / help GGG for free to promote the game and such. That'll be nice.	Posted by zqlimy#4615 on Aug 16, 2012, 12:36:20 AM Quote this Post
Thanks so much for all of you and your teams hard work! I really appreciate the opportunity to enjoy such a great game!	Posted by ahvrenthay#3440 on Aug 16, 2012, 12:49:54 AM Quote this Post
Some 20 years ago a small company named Blizzard North created an awesome game like this. I've been using their products for all that time. This is the first time I've been hooked on a game outside of Blizzard's stuff. Amazing stuff guys...thank you for all of the effort. Not that it means much but I promise Friday I will join the thousands of supporters! My questions is when will we see "World of Path of Exile"? :D	Posted by Rawrasawr#3785 on Aug 16, 2012, 12:59:30 AM Quote this Post

I think the idea about the 500k a month is based on paying all 18 people perhaps a year, not a month, (unless he was trying to take in all expenses into account) 500k a year to pay 18 people averages 27,777 and 7/9th a year. so they'd need to make 500k+ a year just for salaries, + whatever operating costs/taxes/etc. Last edited by Z999z3mystorys#2790 on Aug 16, 2012, 1:37:16 AM	Posted by Z999z3mystorys#2790 on Aug 16, 2012, 1:36:47 AM Quote this Post
