Solstar Games recently started promoting their Realmcrafter product on The Game Creators website. Since they started that, the number of registered users on their forum has increased by about 150 new users, whereas before they were lucky to get a new user every day or so.

I don't know how accurately the number of new forum users reflects sale figures for Realmcrafter, or what percentage they're paying out in affiliate fees - but assuming those figures are an accurate indication of sales then that means they've sold about $15,000 worth of product in the few short weeks since they started promoting the product on the TGC site. That's a pretty healthy injection of capital.
