Does the dev really work alone?

I mean if they guy just made like 33 Million in 2 weeks, he surely can maybe get some people to work with him to really get this game going :D

I have no doubt he will appreciate your advice.

Several things. Steam has a 30% sales tax, Tyler has potential future legal fees, also if you have never developed a game, coding is not as simple as just showing someone else your code and hoping they can just match your organization. The more programmers on a project, the more bugs and longer it takes to get ♥♥♥♥ done.
A million programmers using Python (Or Javascript, or C++ or C# or whatever language they use) Will program the same effect a million different ways.

Oh I didn't no that, my bad! I mean he does a good job, I just thought it might help him out a bit for maybe burnout or stuff like that and get the game to a good shape :) but honestly pretty crazy how much he have done, it's really additctive game lol ironically, considering the game xD

It may just be personal opinion, but the best games seem to have the fewest developers.

I do agree with that, it's easier to control the game and won't be 100 different people doing different things, but the game can probably benetfit with like a few more people...but the game is good, I just don't want the guy to get overwhelmed lol

hiring developers won't necessarily lead to a better game, better let the man handle his ♥♥♥♥

then stop adding to it by telling him what to do, he knows his situation best, and if he needs to hire people, he will

I agree and disagree, even with a team of many devs, a good leader and a clear vision/goal for the game makes it the best it could potentially be.

I am sure he is super eager to take advice from some dork on the internet who doesn't have 33 million dollars.

^This.
Also I can't imagine how much of a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ it must be to work on your silly little game project and then a week later find out you're a multi millionaire. Even after steams cut and the government stealing what it wants you discover that you have generational wealth.
Then before that high is even done someone tosses a lawsuit on you because they want in your pocket too.
It's gotta be so surreal!

I'm sure game will be fine as long as he doesn't pull a Valheim and vanish from his customers for 2 years like they did, forgetting entirely why they even got any $ in the first place lol.

There has to be a course in college for programmers, something to prepare them for this cut throat business.

I tried to watch that show "Silicon Valley" but people constantly trying to steal his work or profit off it like a leech stressed me out too much to enjoy it.

Dude is set for life. I doubt he is getting a burnout from his gold baby. lol
