On a good sale, I convince maybe 70-100 people of buying my game. Not yet at 4000 sales after 7 years, but it's getting there and I'm okay with that. "But I thought your game was popular!" no my friend, you probably thought my art is good and that meant I was paying someone for it - ThreadSky

I've had friends (?!!) snottily point out that my game is not a financial success because a b c d reasons, and like... I don't think every game needs to be a financial success to exist. I don't think ANY piece of media needs to be a financial success to exist.

"But the production values—" so what?

You can really just be a little weirdo that spends 7 years perfecting a game about imaginary people that live in their head. It's allowed, I have the rulebook right here. Some people dig holes for the same reason.

"You shouldn't work on passion projects" - people who want projects made without passion, I guess?

Nobody freaking knows what makes a game a financial success, and if they tell you so either they want to sell you something or they are just lying or wishful thinking.

Game success is 20% having a good game and 80% releasing it at a good time (aka "luck")

I'll believe any "recipe for success" if you can follow the exact same steps 3 consecutive times and be successful 3/3
