Congratulations on the milestone! I'm excited to see where this leads for game file, although I always do worry about creators/journalist/podcasters I follow not leaving enough for themselves. If you haven't even gotten to your old paycheck, and you don't have standard business benefits from working at a large company, I would always prefer you are comfortable/stable financially before expanding out with freelancers too much. Again, super happy to have them, I just don't want a random broken AC unit or boiler or (god forbid) medical bill to hit you hard!
