Heya mate! Long time fan, since 2003!

You're not the original developer? Does he get any money from the Steam sale? The situation is rather weird and different people seem to know different things.

Could you shed some light on the situation?

Yes, the original developer gets the money from the steam sale.

He's hosting the lobby server, website and forum for the game.

Afaik the contributors didn't get any money and worked on the game in their spare time because they love Soldat.

One of the goals was to release it as FLOSS.
