I hope they can handle this unlike Notch (Minecraft) - reckoned becoming a billionaire overnight ruined his life.
It looks more like it showed that he's an asshole to entirety of the world. Ruining he did of his own
Congrats to them! Very rare to see people who follow their dreams no matter what their field become millionaires. On a side note, I feel like I should like Dwarf Fortress, but every time I look at it, it seems completely daunting.
I strongly recommend just digging in, and it's never been easier than right now. The DF Wiki is one of the most comprehensive video-game wikis that exist due to a very passionate, very tight-knit community; and has excellent guides on how to play your first game.
I'd recommend playing one fort while strictly following a guide so that you can learn the interface and concepts, then try another fort totally on your own to experience the chaos in full.
Worth noting that in the Steam store it says Windows only right now. (no Penguin/Linux yet)
Works great on Proton!

Yah I just looked today.. Has anyone heard? If it were Linux I would buy it now..
I've been playing on Linux. Both on desktop and my Steam deck. Runs fine under Proton.
It's low GPU / high CPU, so it should be a ripe candidate for Wine and friends..

I heard he gave millions of dollars to his dev team. What did he do wrong?
There is a Controversial Views section

Are they? 300,000 units * $30 = $9M - 30% Steam tax = $6.3M in a single year take out federal taxes (just gonna call it 36% and ignore SFJ/MFJ), leaves them about $2M each. I'm sure they're some sort of a legal entity in WA state and will owe the b&o tax too. They deserve it absolutely but $2M each does not put them in a position of "fuck you" [1].

$2m in the bank is enough to easily draw $100k/yr from interest, which fits the GP’s “set for life if we make wise choices” IMO. That is way above median income in wealthy countries. Assuming you don’t try to live in SF!
They are definitely in 'set for life if we make wise choices' territory. In another month I'm betting they will be in 'set for life even if we make foolish choices' territory. I'm really happy for them. They really stayed true to their passion and I'm happy to see them rewarded for this.
> They are definitely in 'set for life if we make wise choices' territory Sure it seems that way now, but what happens when a volcano appears under their house and it floods with lava? Or they go to war with the elves?
To my knowledge, Dwarf Fortress is the closest thing to Hari Seldon’s Prime Radiant
