Frictional Games studio? - ZyLogicX - 08-22-2011
I know this is not the correct category to post this, but I'd figured we as actual editors with the HPL2 engine might know this.
So, I know Frictional Games has currently 5 employees, but due to being an independent studio, Do they actually work together in an apartment or building, or do they work all seperatly at home (like Mikko Tarmia)
I have always wanted to know this, so if you know, please answer my question.

They all work seperately and have a Skype meeting at the end of each day (or week), as Thomas wrote in the Blog some while ago.

I'm interested in how much money do they earn.
As I know, there were over 300.000 copies of Amnesia sold.
14 € per game (~10 € for the company) makes 3,0 million €.
I think, a half million is for the external workers like composer or soundstudios (if any).
That makes 2,5 million € for only 5 people, because they have no publisher.
But I see no Koenigsegg in their garages

I think most of those copies were sold whilst on sale at Steam. So it's only about 3,5-7,5e per copy. I payed 3,5e for mine, because I had bought a penumbra game before buying Amnesia.
