I mean, in the abstract you are both correct. In the real world however, we're talking (at best) an order of magnitude of thousands of dollars.
Let's generously assume the community can raise $5k (100 donations of $50). Let's also assume Rogean makes $180k/year ie. $15k/month (a rough but reasonable number for senior dev ops).
In other words, at best Rogean can get 1/3rd of one month's salary in exchange for years of maintaining an entire server ... such a deal! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
As I said before, Rogean has never been doing this for the money: he has to have been doing it for the love of the game, and it's only that, not $$$, that will keep him doing it. |
Yeah but my point is a new server assuming a merge (so only 2 servers total). So he'd be getting that additional money for doing something he's already doing already.
