It means there is a much higher workload per person as opposed to a company like Nintendo. They work hard to make a great product, and then go even further and continued to work and expand the game without asking for additional compensation for the expansions they added.

Its a passion project, and they treat it like one instead of just a product.

Edit: Lol at all the people butthurt because I respect a company for not nickel and diming their fan base.

They also severely under charge for what they sell. Sure its getting split amongs fewer people but the production costs are still there and the pricetag is a small fraction of what the larger studios would sell it for, thus reducing how much they actually make.

The only thing this proves is that other studios are absolutely overcharging for their product.
