    OK y’all, fine, OP’s higher tax bracket take is off target. But if you’re suggesting sudden and massive wealth increases for these employees? Yeah, that’s kinda fraught.

    OP makes some discussion worthy points. And I agree, sit on the reserves as cash and think on it. Meanwhile, nothing leads me to believe Pocketpair isn’t doling out fat bonus stacks. They’re private, they’re not advertising compensation and it’s none of your business.

    I work for a software dev in America, we get fat bonuses every year, on top of what’s guaranteed, because we keep making more than anticipated.

    On top of that, imagine having “developed Palworld” on your resume. Jesus. Golden ticket there.

    tl;dr: Most small companies and individuals are not prepared for this sort of success. Sudden influxes of cash must be navigated carefully.
