Yikes, that's only 60 sold licenses to pay for a whole year's worth of salary. They have sold over 1.5m licenses on Steam alone:

Absolutely shameful.

TO put this in perspective, they made about $60 million, and paid out probably less than $60 thousand total as salary here in the 1.5 ish years the game has been out.
I really don't get it. If the owners make that much, why would they want to be such total jerks? At this point it would cost them extremely little to pay a decent wage. It's not as if it's fiscally prudent either, since losing your good name and having all the developers walk out on you isn't exactly cheap.
