{That Dragon, Cancer} tog tre år at lave, men det har endnu ikke tjent sine penge hjem, og det mener folkene bag er Let's Play-spillernes skylde.

"However, there is another side of this that I've been afraid to talk about in public. And that is this: our studio has not yet seen a single dollar from sales. {That Dragon, Cancer} was created by a studio of eight, and for many of us it was a full-time effort that involved thousands of hours of work.
