No matter how much money you have you still have to live in the same society as everyone else, it's not like there's some paradise on Earth that only admits people with greater than $10,000,000 net worth.
Getting rich is the fun part not being rich, but when getting rich is too easy it takes the fun out of it.
Isaiah Hernandez
Being rich is fun as fuck too. Brb ordering women like Chinese food Brb ordering Chinese food like you order women Brb taking a flight to Spain because you wanna learn Spanish Brb buying your neighbors annoying fat lard son a year's worth of twinkles and saying "don't eat em all kiddo"

Don't get too cozy. Eventually it will crash, as all markets do. Then the cycle will repeat. Many people will get burned from becoming complacent, and thinking the are geniuses, even though it was just a bull run.
Jaxon Thomas
>gets rich >doesn't know what to do
Literal scum of the earth.

Charles Jones
Only person I know who is rich like you guys talk about....drugs, girls, lambo, mansion on top of a mountain in Laguna niguel California...just had different kinds of problems. Money isn't an end to your worries....it actually brings more. Getting rich is the fun I would say. Everyone I know who has made a million or more had fun getting there....and still have fun....just not as much. Enjoy the ride
Joseph Lewis
>not being rich enough to know
why even live?
Parker Brooks
Richfag here.
Made a game and over 2 million people purchased it. Not gonna say which game for obvious reasons.
I can say that for me, being rich is FUCKING AMAZING.
I wake up, think about how much money is in my bank account, then imagine the things I can do with it. I don't even do the shit i'm thinking, I just love imagining everything.
>Hmmm, I could totally buy a mansion, dig a huge basement, add a pool, add a gym with foam pits, climbing walls, trampolines etc.
>Hey I can buy like 20 Teslas!
>Oh it would be sweet if I had 50 acres of land and a quadbike...
>........wow i didn't know islands were so affordable....
>VR room!
>How many supercars would I need before I got bored of supercars?
And on and on and on.
Feels amazing.
Jacob Lopez
This.
I can think of a million good things to do with my money that don't involve hookers and lambos.
Oliver Long
I just want a house where I can watch animu and play vidya and people leave me alone while I rot away in my self made pleasure drome / prison.
Kayden Perry
hey, since you do not disclose the game, do you mind telling us about some of the things that lead you there? (From where I stand I find games incredibly risky: lots of work with little monetary gain when you fail.)
Samuel Anderson
Sure. I'll be honest. It was luck + persistence. Probably 95% luck.
>Quit higher education.
>Spent 10 years failing one game after the other.
>Got lucky with one game.
>Rich.
Wouldn't recommend it at all. Your evaluation is correct, very high risk with nothing to show if you fail. At year 8 of failure I remember having a complete break down mentally. Humiliating.
Good times now, but fuck me I'm bailing on the games industry now that I have money. No need for that stress.
Austin Fisher
another gamedev here. this is absolutely true. keep failing until you make it. no reward without risk.
Aaron Clark
>tfw you missed on the ETH hype >even if you wanted to buy now at the ATH the deposit would take like a week y-yeah...
Jonathan Cox
This is the dream we're all striving for.
Caleb Myers
>money brings more worries top kek m8, if only there was some solution to having too much money
Liam Peterson
We all know that feel
Daniel Russell
Another gamedev here but I just work for a studio.
I worked for 5 years and I'm about to go indie with a coleague.
I do it because I love games, not the money. Actually they pay me shit and I expect to live for a long time without a good salary.
But congratz on your game! You deserved it.
Adam Harris
TELL ME WHO YOU ARE YOU LARPING FAGGOT
Chase Hughes
the game pretty much has to be Terraria according to my intuition.
Easton Adams
but terraria is still in development.
Ryan Lopez
this 10000x
Jaxon Perry
but I bought it 2 years ago.
Blake Hughes
yeah having money is nice
but dont get comfortable with something like ethereum. i wouldn't want to keep holding it for more than a couple of years before the next hot coin pumps its way to no.2
Landon Jackson
>being sad because money ... Work on other things. Push your body to its limit. Travel the world and force yourself into situations you wouldn't otherwise have confidence to (talk to beautiful strangers), help out those in genuine need, and try marvelous food you haven't tried before. See sights and experiences you haven't seen before. How fast can you run? Can you climb? Can you snowboard? Can you kickbox? Can you stretch your leg over your neck? Do something silly and dangerous.
So much to see and do... don't kid yourself, user.
Ryan Walker
thanks for providing your perspective. I had a very similar experience, except I never got to the rich part.
How expensive were your average production?
Isaiah Perry
so ETH isn't a meme?
Camden Perez
>yolo!! kek, truly a zombie of the time. Guess what, you dont have to do or experience anything before you die. The fact you have one life, like mem atheist morons enjoy repeating over and over in no way means you should try to experience as much new things as possible. Unless you wanna live a meme life.
Reminds me of a book written by a soldier. He just kept on reapting retarded banalities and cliches about his motivations and desires. He was a walking meme. Dont be one.
Kayden King
But I do have coins. So now what?
Kayden Stewart
Terraria sold over 15 million units. I wish i made terraria!
Samuel Walker
what was your take at the end?
Jackson Carter
>he made floppy bird
Joshua Reyes
why are you on Veeky Forums if youre a millionaire
Zachary Morgan
Before being rich it was very cheap. Some smaller games I made we're just about paying for my food consumption bills.
No we have a team of 10 people.
>10 people >$45,000 per year average >3 years per project.
So roughly $1.4 million per project. That makes things very hard to commit to, as if the production gets cancelled or the game flops then we just burned HUGE amounts of money.
I now fully understand why Ubisoft churns out generic shitty games one after the other. Because if you find some formula that sells, you have no option but to milk it from fear of destroying your company and making your team jobless.
Again, if anybody is reading this thinking "Hey I love games! I can totally make them and get rich quick!" please reconsider. I got lucky, everybody successful I've met got lucky, the whole thing is stressful and unpredictable. It's like trying to make it as a musician. Just not gonna happen.
Jose Morales
Have lots of free time now that my team does all the jobs I used to do. I prefer /pol/ though.
Charles Lee
Over $2m after tax. Still brings in $500k a year minimum.
Ethan Nelson
im impressed its still pulling in 25%, i didnt know games had that kind of longevity.
Gabriel Jones
how old are you
are you married if no, do you trust women at this point
Adam Walker
Because you will never understand the power of money. Not in a million years. You believe that infinite money means you're playing with cheats in a sandbox game and that bores you for some mortal reason. Responsibility scares you because you're too stupid to play with the big boys. You're like that loser who buys a forest to "protect it"
So let's start singing about what you can really do with money before I call you faggots instead of idiots like you deserve. Let's take it from the top starting with Veeky Forums's boards. /pol/ I can buy my own micro nation, make my own laws and set an example for everyone. Veeky Forums would universally tell you that you need 90 trillion to create gold out of energy. 900 trillion to terraform the desert and arctic north. /co/ would buy CN and tell Sugar+Disney to suck a dick. Tumblrtards would fuck off with their cal arts noodle arms and comic book feminism. /v/ would revive the rts genre, finally make a good aliens game, buy Blizzard, kill EA and kill all the ugly fatlards. Make a good insects game, a good intellectual world building game. /k/ would just buy an atomic bomb and nuke Iraq+Iran. Then a tank and a hand_held cannon to get those niggers, muslims, turks off our planet. /b/ would research and buy a cure for cancer. /an/ will create those natural animal gardens they want and create a real life pikachu. Veeky Forums will use their money to buy money. /d/ will create tentacles pets and a safe environment where to practice their fetishes. Veeky Forums will buy an education. /mu/ will buy some taste. /g/ will buy Bill Gates and throw him through all the windows. Neo/mlp/ will buy all 10 colored plastic toys and run out of money. /mlp/ will get a specific executive at Hasbro fired and put Greg Weisman in charge. /vp/ will create the real version of Pokemon Go and we'll have a world war 3 with lvl 200 pokemons, reducing the globe's population to women, children and low lvl useless cute and cuddly vulpix.
Grayson Bell
having a few million is a completely different world from the kind of things you're talking about.
Lucas Turner
Also rich guy here prob ricger thn the other guy, i still find life amazing because i can do so many things n still have n ultimate goal to achieve
As for how i got rich, the same way
You can follow my route
>buy mac(yes this is important) >learn swift programming lang >make a copy of the top 10 games in the app store >dont bother with android games or app since no android users waste money on apps like apple fags do
>get lucky on app, in the meantime apply for swift engineer
I got lucky from 1 game n thn 3 others after tht
Isaiah Flores
phew. that's a lot (for me). I do not know how I'd feel spending this much on a project that takes 3 years to complete. I'd probably start going to church or something.
Did you ever try dabbling in more conservative fields, like productivity software? I'm sure there's a lot of talent on your team and you probably develop some tools you use yourself anyway.
also how do you decide on the projects and their stories?
Luis Johnson
well whats your ultimate goal
Brody Hughes
If i tell u it wont come true
John Sanders
can someone send me some ETH to make sure my code works? maybe just like 5 or 10.
Daniel Parker
very wise
Adrian Adams
thanks, man, but I already traveled that path. It lead me to developing apps on the mac. Recently I learned that a major company actually uses our (I work in a team with my brother) software. Made me cool 100 bucks. (it's niche software)
Zachary Morris
by the way, for the poor fags:
if you don't have the money for a shiny new mac, you can buy a used thinkpad for $200 bucks and install os x. thinkpads are common enough for you to find solutions to most problems online and they're sturdy little fuckers.
(am using a x220 right now because I broke my macbook last week).
Carter Long
>No matter how much money you have you still have to live in the same society as everyone else. Hey I'm poor and I don't live in muslim ville. I'm still better off than Anthony Burch.
>long-winded laughter. What are eugenics, genocides, gene therapy, cultural manipulation, forced education, ruling a country or even a planet.
So richfags. Have you ever considered buying Veeky Forums? Or just 1 board from it? A lack of change in decades drives my neurons up the walls and develops an irrational obsession for niches and rebellion. Like Dolores Umbridge which shouldn't have been in the movie. Yeah that kind of itch. That kind where "lol who's gonna stop me" and then all it takes is 1 maniac with some horsepower to trump all over you. Literally.
Aiden Gonzalez
i assume this is just so you can make iphone/ipad apps? is there still money in those? i know android is dead for making money, and most non-entertainment non-"business" productivity apps on windows/osx also suck
Elijah Russell
Where can I buy $520 worth with a prepaid netspend visa card immediately?
Josiah Ross
oh hey guy from the other thread
Adrian Butler
>he doesnt know about the secret bilderberg moloch worshiping shrines
Adrian Phillips
The point is the ceiling is extremely high and there is little reason to get bored
Eli Sanders
everything is relative, when things stay the same for long enough they get boring, no matter how much money you currently have
Nathan Young
I actually don't know how well it works for iOS development. I assume just fine, like everything else.
I make productivity apps so I can not tell you how well other categories do (well, actually I can: probably bad, but dependent on the product), but as a rule of thumb: if some product is successful, there's always room for competition.
also a lot of people are weary of the app store, so with some apps you can almost double your revenue when you sell them yourself on your website. That is especially the case when you have other companies as customers.
Cooper Gomez

Jaxon Rivera
>Implying in 2 years the market cap of all cryptos won't be so high that Eth could be 10th and still be worth more than it is now
Adrian Martin
likely, but there have been many coins that drop slowly for years once theyve been "replaced" or deemed "unnecessary". there are too many coins out there competing for the relatively small amount of money in crypto as a whole.
obviously the market is going to be much larger in 2 years but i wouldnt want to get too attached to any coin
John Smith
>don't experience things ..... Are you this retarded? Or are you trolling me? The best times in my life were doing shit I didn't do before, experiencing things, meeting new people, etc.

Austin Price
You're mentally ill
Cooper Hughes
I am happy for you. However, I am not talking about people who recently made million+. I am talking about someone who has been a multimillionaire for decades. So you're still kind of on the ride in my view. You may do something stupid and you may make more. My advice rub elbows with the neighbors and go the parties. They're always talking about their new business ventures
Isaiah Wood
>/g/ will buy Bill Gates and throw him through all the windows. LMAO, Had amazing KEK. Don't listen to other faggots, you are right. Money gives you power and you must have vision what to do with it. Most neets in here would simply buy whores and lifetime supplies of Doritos and wouldn't change nothing else in their life even if they had 10 millions or 250 millions, simply because they lack vision
Gabriel Ortiz
Made over 700k right after I turned 21. I finally cracked said fuck it and threw what I had into a crypto and outsourced a bunch of cpa.
Just moved to this place, one bedroom apartment. It's comfy. Bouta look into places this week to invest real.

Can anyone explain how this ETH circlejerk works?
Christian Adams
You buy it and then this guy gives you free money.

Only people who've never had to worry about their own survival would start complaining about being rich.
Andrew Turner
Noob here. I bought ETH on a dip yesterday and hoped to go semi long term. But it was sold yesterday without me knowing. Turns out it expires daily...which I never heard before. They just close your position on the end of the day. Can someone explain this to me in detail?
Colton Jenkins
>this is how wageslaves cope
Jaxon Edwards
many people here post from first world nations, where you really don't have to.
but, you're right. complaining about rich boi problems when people are starving elsewhere is amoral and disgusting.
Jack Reyes
Show proof or you're a lying faggot, OP.
Colton Ramirez
Where did you buy it
Chase Thompson
And no that's not supposed to happen
Did you buy a daily binary option or something? Ive never heard of this happening
Thomas Lewis
Plus500, an online trading website. No minimum amount to join them. There are not any advanced options to select when buying. Turns out it's the first stock that I bought which has the "expires daily" setting. The other stocks have an expiration date set infinity
Ian Watson
ah okay
ive looked into it very briefly and it seems you are trading a CFD there
if you want to actually own the coins you need to buy them on a proper exchange
Hudson Morgan
and by proper exchange I mean somewhere that gives you an ethereum wallet where the coins are literally depoisted into when you buy
Ryder Thompson
Thank you user, I would not have found an answer to this myself. I use this free exchange to learn more about trading. I am still in the phase of acquiring money, which will be soon, but not soon enough for all these great ETH fluctuations. Thanks.
Camden Hernandez
cheers
Kayden Thompson
That's so noveau riche.
Kayden Wood
People like you have a big whole inside the center of you, that can never be filled by enough "experiences" or new things.
You are living the meme life.
Jose Price
So much this!
People run saying "new experiences" and "yolo". All of that "experiences" bullshit is just a mind virus.
Jacob Kelly
Nothing you said is "power". The things you said are just things you can do with money. None of them are a big deal.
Jacob Miller
>This entire post Wow... just wow... you should really get off Veeky Forums you are clearly too weak-minded to stay here. Seek help.
Angel Miller
Did you have to learn any graphic design in the process? I imagine that the "shinier" the app the more likely some idiot would buy it
Chase King
Weed not legal yet. Still cant buy without medical. Prices are going to the moon because of chinese money being dumped here in investment p roperty. You need to buy within the next year to really be benefiting.
