Misleading clickbait title. Wage implies a hourly rate paid by an employer. This is profit divided by time on a side project.

At age 12 I earned 37 cents/hour delivering newspapers. Difference is, I was earning a wage.

I did have enough sense to calculate that pittance and bail as soon as one of my customers offered me $5 to mow his (considerable) lawn. Gave myself a raise to $2.00/hour!

I think many game developers lose money, which would make it even lower.

Might be high for first time indie dev

I'm curious where the author lives. In developing countries ten cents an hour might exist, unfortunately.
