Terraria's next update is delayed because dev will "not force anyone to crunch for an arbitrary deadline" (www.eurogamer.net)

I have no clue how they're making money, I think I bought Terraria for four bucks eight years ago

And I bought it last year! Just because it's been out for a while doesn't mean people aren't still discovering it. Especially true for a 2d, stylized game like Terraria where maxing out the performance and graphics isn't essential to make it competitive with newer games.

There's always a new 9 year old, 11 year old etc. and always a new gamer of any age, who hasn't ever bought the game. Same with No Man's Sky and Minecraft.

You'd likely make way more if you separate games and DLC, but some companies seem to be fine sticking with just the one. You will still make money as you keep adding things to your evergreen game

Merchandise is being sold and millions of people have bought the game and people are still buying it.
