I'd say the people making any real money in this niche could be counted on one hand.

Out on A ROMANTIC DATE. That's enough pretentious commentary, you mirthless clown.

chiptune can sell out without you selling out. if the standard perception of low-bit music is dance music and covers then if your tunes sound like Art Bears kicking an atari ST to death you are still an underground lich king

Sometimes I get absolutely minted for a gig, and then I put it back into the pot for playing some loss making smaller shows.
