About 850K units was the alpha sold for about 10 Euro, the remaining 150K were the beta for 15 Euro. This works out to a revenue of about 10,750,000 Euro (US$ 14m roughly). Not too shabby, considering that the game isn't even out of beta yet!


Sure, but once you split that amongst all the employees, it's not very much.


You mean, 7?
