I really hope the fellow behind Dwarf Fortress sees this success and starts charging a small amount for his releases.

I think the following DF has (despite its rough state) would provide impressive revenue and allow him to bring on employees to help build his game while earning him a comfortable living.

The thing is, minecraft is far, far more accessible than dwarf fortress will ever be without some major changes, and has a vastly greater potential audience.
DF makes about $30k in donations per year.

It's insane to see MC make more than that per day. Poor Toady.

Just donated to Toady. Dwarf fortress is a masterpiece in progress, thank you for reminding me of his financial woes
