That is way higher than I expected, considering the whole "buy each one individually" situation. A bit of back of the envelope maths tells me there's about 8000 girin on site right now.
I wonder what total the staff expected? The $500 add-on they promised makes me think they didn't think it would take off to this degree.
I think selling them for so cheap was very wise of them. $2.50 is accessible for a lot of people so there's probably a lot more users than usual who got one for themselves
Well, I mean, it's a small site. They may not have the budget to toss more around when a piece of their income just got shifted to a familiar they don't get a cent for.
