Where does a FOSS project find $2.4M? They weren't selling anything were they? They can't really have that big of a war chest can they?

My understanding is they've been making 30k a month from their Patreon.

Which is also the main reason they were vulnerable to a lawsuit, because they've been profiting off of the emulator (which why legal by itself, is only popular enough to make money due to piracy).

$2.4M is 8 years' worth in that case, assuming they were making that much the entire time. And of course a lot of that money was probably for the devs to afford basic living expenses.

6 years and 8 months, but yeah I can't see them having the money, even if they saved everything.
