> They may have only 10 staff, but easily make 50 mil a year
Considering Unity's previous pricing model (per seat) it really didn't matter that much whether their client made 5, 10 or 50 mil unless they massively increased their hiring because of that, unless they can charge per install/% of revenue.
> Traditional industries rarely have such lopsided staff/revenue ratios.
A negligibly small proportion of indie developers are even close to that.
