I hope they don't just pack their pencils and leave after this.

I think we are safe on that front at least, there is way too much effort put into the game for it to be a cash grab and run

Wouldn't be the first. I mean, they already have millions in profit. I don't know how big their team is, but at 7$M development cost they are looking at 100M+ profit.

With a quick search, seems like estimates are that the team size is currently around 40 people. This makes it sound like a more committed effort than if it was a small team.
