Indeed. The rediculous claim Spiderweb sells 'millions of copies' is laughable. I don't know of but one independant title in gaming history that comes even close to a million except for 3d Wolfenstein and the Commander Keen shareware releases that led to the forming of Id software. Otherwise expect sales in the 10k to 15k range if it's a good game with a successful release. That may not sound like a lot but look at Spiderweb- direct downloads. That means at $29.95 that translates to $300,000. Not bad for a couple years work even if he spent a third of it on costs.

I don't know what the difinition of "pro" is? Sales? Spiderweb is home based. About the only 'pro' aspect of it is online commerse and a legal corp filing. I have both. Costs a couple hundred dollars. Does that make me a pro? He's been at it for a while so that makes him successful and experienced but other than that not much seperates him from you or me.
