This is incredibly depressing. It hits home for me because I'm in a very similar situation. I and one other guy almost went broke making Clicker Heroes, but it turned out to be a great success.
But so far since then every project has not been worth doing.

We did this in Clicker Heroes, and I don't like that we did. But I'm learning more and more that it's hard to compete against scummy tactics.
I hope Clicker Heroes 2 does OK. We might have to find corporate jobs too if it doesn't.
