41M units sold at $15 a pop. Even if he only sees $2.50 of that, it's still over $100M. If expecting a 1% contribution is "hard to please," then yes I am.

    Considering they've pledged ongoing support, you may see that come true.

    A monthly commitment isn't an annual commitment. I hope it's like, "here's 125k, and also 125k every year for the next decade." But if it were, they'd say so.

    What do you mean by your first sentence? Why does the frequency matter?

    I think they're saying they would like to see it be an annual commitment, as in every year. Not defending their shitty gatekeeping on donations to developers.
