Does Toady Have a Job?
DizzyCrash:
Do you think this is Toady's full time job? Or is Dwarf fortress just a hobby they do in there spare time?
Enemy post:
He used to, but currently he and his brother get enough money from donations to live off Dwarf Fortress.

You know the Internet is full of countless interviews with Toady and that he's active on this forum, replies to emails, Twitter messages, etc? He's not some recluse that fans need speculate over in the dark corners of the Internet.

This is true.. Me and my brother just got into a bit of a discussion over the subject, wondering how he made money and if donations/advertisers were enough to fun the whole thing.
Honestly he could sell the game, I would pay for it if it was on steam. Its probably my second or third favourite gam of all time.
Shonai_Dweller:
In this thread, Toady reports on how much he's earning from donations. He doesn't use advertising as far as I know.

It's not much as I guess this is both of their income combined (before taxes). But apparently enough not to have to do anything extra except make an awesome game and draw crayon pictures for a living.
