Any word on how successful this was?

So, 36,000 - 15,000 = 21,000 X $20 = $420,000 + 15,000 x $16 = $660,000 - Expenses. I'd say it did pretty well.

That isn't too well, sadly...look at the credits for the game and try to break down the money amongst them...of course it's not equally divided, but it gives a rough idea at how much they all made each, and lets say that for a years earnings (I doubt Frictional are kicking out another full game this year) it's not great wages.

That's true art sadly, masterpieces always get overlooked initially

I don't think it's that bad. There are more people working at the stinking liquor store down the street than for Frictional games. 660,000 is a great amount to earn for such a small company, and you're not even factoring in earnings from past games, and future purchases of Amnesia--which are no doubt going to keep trickling in over the winter.
