Johnathon sure blew a lot of money to make this game.

Tease.

Noname - he said he was in the red, last time I checked, about 8 days ago, when the game sold around 28,500 copies. It's over 80,000 copies now.

Good to hear that then. The last I remember was the "I'm still broke" comment; glad to hear that this has paid off for him.

I believe that comment was made when he cited my VGC XBLA article that said Braid was at 28,500 units sold. It was above 80,000 as of this past Saturday.

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Worth every penny. Thank you, Johnathan. I kinda hope and believe Braid was a labor of love that just turned out profitable. No way he planned on getting rich developing such a unique title.
