Hopefully the game will be better off under Take-Two (I am not familiar with their past treatment of indy-like games like this)

I have read several stories online about how poorly SQUAD treated the core development team of KSP: https://www.develop-online.net/news/squad-devs-blast-kerbal-...

I say this as a massive KSP fan with ~1000 hours in it (admittedly a lot lower than others).

Almost any level of support will be better than SQUAD.

5 guys working part time on it would yield more features/year than SQUAD has managed to roll out over the years.

My only concern is mod support, since that's been the main source of new feature growth.

$2400 sounds incredibly low even in PPP terms for Mexico.

That does seem impossibly low. I happen to know that electronics manufacturing techs in Mexico (assembly line work) get the equivalent of $50/week for the lowest rung. To pay the same for high-skill developers/content-creators seems like something has been mis-communicated or maybe a typo.

Kerbal Space program has been doing well. I wonder who, exactly, has been raking in all the cash?

Software developers (.NET and Java) can get between 1,000 - 3,000 dollars a month in Monterrey, Guadalajara or Mexico City. 2,500 yearly salary sounds extremely low. Even interns get paid more that that here.

The guy who was getting paid $2400 wasn't a developer- he was basically their community manager.
