My respect for the developers of Nebula for trying to do everything by themselves. But I think if they outsourced the programming and implementation, they'd get results much faster and could make literally millions within the next year. |
I doubt too many companies in the plugin world make millions a year. Waves of course would, but they also probably have vastly more personnel overhead than most plugin companies as well, and sell mostly to the pro market. If you sell a plug for $100, it takes 20K of those just to gross the smallest amount possible to counts as millions, much less actually clear some millions. Selling 20K units of a plug a year is probably pretty dang hard.
Not to say that they couldn't do OK. But if you look at what it would cost to actually outsource development, and/or hire on 10 people to get a real company going, you realize that a a couple million dollars isn't really that much. And of course a disturbing number of people will just rip it off, and you have to keep that revenue stream growing over time.
If they were successful in building up a large ecosystem around them of their own products and third party products, and they do have the kind of technology that could work that way, they might be able to pull something substantial off. But I think that they'd probably have trouble selling that story to venture capitalists, which is the only way they could front the money probably required to really 'go pro' in a substantial way.
