I can't recall the details but wasn't it $20k under a $15M total valuation? Proportionally that would be $3.3M of a $2.5B valuation.

He wasn't offering a portion of the game's profits or a portion of the company. He was offering money for a work-for-hire.

At a $15M valuation, the work was worth $20k to them. At a $2.5B valuation, the work was $20k to them.
