It already made him bank. There are no official sales figures, but you can expect about 30 sales per review, if we only count 6000 reviews before the review bombing and go with $5 per sale then he would already have earned $900k with it. For a game made by a single guy, probably not even commissioned any music or art.
I've played this, and it has been awhile so it probably has been updated; but it was fun albeit wonky on balancing.
Again though the balancing likely (hopefully?) improved; regardless it's cheap fun if you can burn 10 or 15 on it.
You can manually control the gladiators or let the AI do it; and both ways were enjoyable to me. I preferred to let the AI fight because it's way better than me; but ofc taking control of a beefed up guy is also cool.
Why make these statements at all? If it's worth saying, make it a theme in a game. As it stands, this political signaling is only limiting your market.
On a completely principled stance, its still shoving politics in games where they don't belong.
But, it seems nearly every game has had some forced Pandemic announcement during these years (and not shoved in the middle of patch notes, just a general broadcast) Same with almost all of them making some noise about Ukraine.
So until the playing field is leveled where its uncommon to see any statement like this, its only necessary to balance the scales by presenting an alternative opinion. And the guy seems to know it would ruffle a lot of feathers, so he likely knows it will limit him and accepted the risk.
"encouraging players to not wear masks and avoid pornography"
...So... They want us to unmask, unclothe, and film each-other? Because that word order and choice implies the "not" is a list-beginner, "not wear masks and not avoid pornography."
I have no take either way on the game, but hire an editor, BoundingIntoComics.
Sounds like worth adding to my waitlist. If they don't backpeddle i'll give it a try.

Your numbers makes no sense
6,000 reviews * 30 sales gives 180,000 sales, so $900,000 earnings, not $35,000
It's definitely this guys main source of income. You don't succeed on Steam unless you make it a full time job.
They should release a DLC where woketards get fed to lions.
Call it the "giant hairy pussy" DLC for added salt in wounds.
Leftists outraged of right winger finally plays by the rules they created and puts his own political messaging in a video game.

In other news, Domina is now on my Steam wishlist.
Maybe Steam should take away downvotes to protect his feelings...
That worked great for YouTube.

Honestly, its time we gave up our neutral stance on politics in media, since they clearly will never stop trying to indoctrinate everyone.
Its only allowed them to constantly shift the overton window further left.
In the total state, everything is political. This is not optional. Either we win or civilization dies.

Hearing lamentations means we made the stupid mistake of leaving any of them alive
Oh I gave that shit up years ago. Now I’m very deliberate in my support for any creators who signal right-wing beliefs.
Because they are things that need to be said, not enough people are saying them, and it makes faggots seethe.
While it's nice to see anti woke sentiment, keep your fucking politics out of games.
eating your own like this is how you lose
"You know who needs more shittalking and antagonism? Those damned anti-wokes. They've had it good for too long! Not like those lovely woke folx"
Unless you've literally run out of woke people to demolish (hint - you definitely haven't), don't start shitting on your allies.
