sigh... s/KGS/KSP/ my apologies, I can't edit the prior comment.

You play Go, I take it? https://www.gokgs.com/

A java app straight out of 1999 or so, but at least wmshub isn't exploiting anyone but himself!

>“$2,400 was my yearly salary working a full time eight hours a day, 40 hours a week job.” Why would you ever choose to work there in the first place?

Yikes, that's only 60 sold licenses to pay for a whole year's worth of salary. They have sold over 1.5m licenses on Steam alone: http://steamspy.com/app/220200 Absolutely shameful.

I really don't get it. If the owners make that much, why would they want to be such total jerks? At this point it would cost them extremely little to pay a decent wage. It's not as if it's fiscally prudent either, since losing your good name and having all the developers walk out on you isn't exactly cheap.

Ah, it's a pretty awesome game - the right amount of complexity and fun. If it was open source it could continue forever like OpenTTD. Then maybe career mode could be completed. Honestly, this is one of the very few games I've enjoyed in the last 10 years.

I'm pretty sure KSP will continue. The modding community is strong, and has already created several addons that are more advanced than anything the original devs ever wrote.

But they depend on Squad for engine fixes, which are constantly necessary as the game is struggling with the limits of what Unity can handle.

The very large population earning $30-$50 a week work for companies or individuals who will never report that salary in order to avoid paying taxes on it. This means any statistics related to this issue are going to be hard to trust namely, the situation looks better than it is and thus why so many desperately want to cross the border. It's not like Mexican companies don't make money, they make tons of it. They just…

I don't find it unlikely that that is happening, but I find the claims here that absolutely no one in Mexico is paid the minimum wage hard to believe.

At least no one working on a stable company, im sure theres people working on the fields that earn the minimum. I live in Mexico and i don't know a single person that earns the minimum salary. Even people doing interships earn more than the that.
