Wouldn't imagine this game will sell enough copies for profit sharing to hand out anything significant either.

If they make a good game despite their weird organizational structure, why not? DE had on the order of magnitude of 100 of millions of dollars in sales. Even fraction of that could translate into a pretty healthy bonus pay at least.

I see people asking for a spiritual successor of DE all the time, so the game probably doesn't even have to be all that great to be successful.
