It’s a great game and it was groundbreaking in the indie space, but you can’t just live off the one game forever. Imagine if Toby Fox did that with Undertale. And then complained about not having money.

He’s just merchandised the shit out of it and Undertale.

If you can pull it off, successful merchandising is far more lucrative than the original media. A tale as old as consumerism.
