Well, it's two brothers who make Dwarf Fortress. It's been their sole work for more than a decade.
One brother--Tarn/Toady--has a PhD in math and does all of the coding. The other brother--Zach/Threetoes--does design I guess? He also writes and does website updates. He got married a few years back. I'm assuming he's the leading force on gender and BLM and what not.
Regardless of their politics, they're creating something that is crazy, awesome, and a lot of fun for a lot of people. That's worth more than most of the grifters out there.
Holy shit this guy gets 100k per year and is begging for more.
And it’s taken this long for a steam version to be made?

Yep. And I won't be buying Dwarf Fortress on Steam or elsewhere. Their choose to do what they want to do with their money, my choice to not buy.
