Its a good problem to have, they will still be wealthy, but its not the numbers people throw around as if each employee got a large % of the game's earnings to keep, directly.

if I paid you a flat million to mow my lawn in the USA you would be lucky to keep 1/4 of it after all taxes were applied in the highest areas.

spending too much time buying Ferraris, and not leaving enough time for work

Don't exaggerate just yet.

True, they've gotten several millions out of it, But they also have various instances and bills that need to be paid regarding the game. What's left of it is not enough to retire anyway.

And don't forget about the Covid-19 situation,
That has changed a lot worldwide... and not in a positive way.

On the other hand the game probably wouldn't have become so popular without the Covid situation making people to stay home.

The reason for the nerf is people shooting rocks to get the bow skill up to 100 and then complaining it is too over powered. Sadly if you play the game normally you never would get the skill that high for many many IRL hours of gameplay when you end up really deserving that power due to dedication.

It has zero to do with how much money they made.

I partially agree with the OP.

I too have suspicions that the dev's took a vacation (not particularly mad about it though)

They are certainly not eating ramen anymore.

I sure hope we don't have to wait another 8 months for the next content update.

I guess that makes sense too,

the downside to it... developers had to stay home too.
Hence the delays, slow progress on game updates, etc...

I can't think of any profession less dependent on everyone being in one location (programming) Especially one made up of 5 people.

We're all sharing information now and none of us are in the same building.
