Except half or more go to a store, digitally or brick n mortar. Then you have to consider cost of the forums for 4 or 5 years, cost of advertising, and even the cost of madmole's clicky keyboards for streaming.
You can't get that kind of click cheap, my freind!
FWIW, even with the bugs and various incomplete features, we've easily gotten FAR more than our money's worth.
As much as I'm eager to play again without zombies doing the doh see doh, and playing the new puzzle pois, we have a crap ton of unplayed games we can catch up on in the mean time.
When I saw that list of bugs the other day, that cooled my jets for expecting a release soon.
Rather than the emoticon trolling, I'd rather see a general list of big bugs yet to resolve so I can form an educated opinion on when we might finally see a17e drop.
I've been watching the thead daily for weeks watching the emoticon trolling, hoping that that was at least some indicator of progress.
I'm hoping now for a halloween release and rgw working again at that point.

You forgot about the 30% that goes to steam (or less ? i dont remember the correct value) and also the game were several times on sale + not all the time for 20 bucks
But i think what the will say is : They got so much money to develop a AAA Game with that amount.. i mean even when they earned 20Mil after every payment.. i would say that is enough money to pay 20+ devs for a few Years? and for a Game like this is should be enough to get ready SOON™
But iam just sitting there in my chair..following this thread and think.. ARE WE THERE YET?!
My dad owned a couple businesses, small ones, but big or small they have the same type of bills. Brick and mortar have upkeep, insurance, utilities and other needs. Employees, besides a paycheck, may need insurance, depending on how many and what is required for having to provide it.
There is a lot that can cost running a business and that always needs to be considered. But, the fun pimps have made a lot of money, as Joel stated ones, doing a play on his handle name He is a mole-t-millionaire. He was/is wealthy form his business before he started making this game, and probably the others were also.
Do they deserve it? I think so, they have put in countless hours, and they are more than the regular 9-5 type jobs. The emotional toll on them as from the past years of will we make it, will we be able to continue to do this, okay, it seems like we made it, can we continue to make it or will we crash and burn?
Didn't go back to the start of the conversation, so this is just my take on how much they have earned and do they deserve it. Every penny.

Just realized that even though I found this person funny, some who are overly sensitive could be hurt by some of his remarks. And I received a couple more that I ignored.
He is a troll. Want to get me upset, tried from these to making sexual remarks of my lacking some areas. I'm still laughing at him. I'd too old to feel insulted at some of his remarks.
So, he can troll away, it is giving me a good laugh, posted that on the youtubers channel that he was a troll and for others to ignore him.

Things I've done since putting 7D2D down in December... Played 2 adult soccer leagues. Watched my kids play through 2 soccer seasons each. Made my first trip out of country. Flew in a plane for the first time ever. Played WoW for a week(garbage). Played through Fallout 4 again in prep for 76 beta. Played EQ2 for a few months. Finished 2 more IT certifications. Got a new job. Went to my first pro soccer game. Went to 2 college football games.... my point? Some of you really need to get out of these forums and off the devs backs and let them do their job. They will deliver, eventually, a game we can all enjoy and hopefully be proud to suggest to our friends. All the "are we there yet" and "they are too slow" stuff is not good for you. Go do something else and let the dev's take care of business. No matter how much you push or taunt, it wont speed anything up. I check the forums once every couple weeks and see what #gate (#emojigate?) is happening and then come back later. It's just not worth your time to live bashing the F5 key .

I see alot of ppl here that are waiting for the game, and some want it NOW (me included)
Can't you just release it now? I know its much more todo for you guys, and it comes with bugs still. But let us see it
Im not begging, im asking
We are here for a reason, and that is; we love the game and want to get in on it all. we can help with bugreport aswell, and that is a good thing i think.
Im getting all suicidal of this waiting

not a chance.
I'm guessing 3 weeks from the issues that one of TFP listed out.

Not languishing after something you don't have control of is most definitely the best way to spend this time.
I hit the "post-game depression" thing when you either finish or put aside a game you were heavily invested into, didn't know what to do with my spare time (if I should have some that day). Then, just started exploring other games, working down my steam list, played Minecraft with the wife and kids, tried "The Raft" which was a neat diversion, among various other titles that had trouble keeping my interest.
When A17 blows up, I want to be fresh and hungry for it. I haven't hacked through a blood moon horde in almost 2 months, and when the next definitive "7 Days experience" is ready, so will I.
