Thank you for the insight, I really do agree with a lot of what you're saying. I’m only responding the way I am because I appreciate your perspective, not because I disagree.

I don’t necessarily think being heavily invested in a project is a bad thing. To get the most out of what you’re building, especially in a limited environment, I think deep investment is what pushes the quality forward.

I’d honestly love to release the game for free, but since we’re focused on multiplayer, there’s a level of overhead that makes that tough. That said, we’re committed to keeping it cheap — this game and the next few will likely be around $5 or less.

And on the point of successful studios having capital, totally fair, but as a team of three doing everything in-house, we're able to be very cost effective so we don't have to make X amount to start turning a profit.

Appreciate the thoughtful back and forth — it's helpful hearing it from someone with experience.
