Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

OK y'all, fine, OP's higher tax bracket take is off target. But if you're suggesting sudden and massive wealth increases for these employees? Yeah, that's kinda fraught.

OP makes some discussion worthy points. And I agree, sit on the reserves as cash and think on it. Meanwhile, nothing leads me to believe Pocketpair isn't doling out fat bonus stacks. They're private, they're not advertising compensation and it's none of your business.
I work for a software dev in America, we get fat bonuses every year, on top of what's guaranteed, because we keep making more than anticipated.
On top of that, imagine having "developed Palworld" on your resume. Jesus. Golden ticket there.
tl;dr: Most small companies and individuals are not prepared for this sort of success. Sudden influxes of cash must be navigated carefully.
