A game called Bongo Cat has been consistently appearing at the top of Steam's concurrent players chart in the last few months, sitting alongside long-time heavy-hitters like Counter-Strike 2 and PUBG in the top five. Yet despite regularly attracting over 150,000 concurrents, the game doesn't actually make any money, its developer has revealed in a recent interview.

Marcel Zurawka is the CEO and co-founder of Irox Games, the studio behind Bongo Cat. In a recent interview with Eurogamer, Zurawka pulled back the curtain on the game's viral success, revealing that the high player numbers haven't translated to income for the studio.

"Some people said, 'Oh you're now rich.' That's bullshit. I didn't make it for the money at all," Zurawka said. "So the first month of March, we made $2000 net, after Steam cuts and everything." He shares all of Bongo Cat's monthly income--$4050 for April, the peak of the game's virality, $3800 in May, and down to $2800 for June so far.
