Brothers Tarn and Zach Adams have revealed the value of the first payment from Valve for the Steam version of Dwarf Fortress, which is estimated to be $7 million. The data was easily accessible from the two's monthly report, which was published in January, which showed the game's revenue, which rocketed with the launch in the Valve store.
Dwarf Fortress's revenue for the month was $7,230,123.58, a significantly increase from December's $15,635.07. Exactly.
On the Bay 12 Games forum, not all of the money will go to the Adamses. Practically half of the amount will go away in taxes. In addition, the salaries of the new employees must be subtracted from the total.
The money earned will ensure the game's future. Read more about Dwarf Fortress's review.
