   However, the average reported income disparity between those groups is significant: indie developers working alone reported an average income of $11,638 in 2009, while indie developers working with teams reported average personal income for the year of $20,248 -- nearly twice as high.

   What the heck? Is this yearly income? I hope these guys have day jobs.

   Averages remember. Hard to say if most people skew higher than that, or if most people skew far lower (and aren't doing this as a full-time thing) and/or if a few people have simply had very good luck (and brought the numbers up for everyone else).

   I'm fairly certain that that isn't their only source of income:
   "That strong contrast may partially reflect the difficulties one-man teams may have in marketing and monetizing their games. And, of course, many individual developers see monetization as a bonus rather than a strict necessity, particularly when they have other non-game revenue sources."

   Yeah I try and team up when I can but I find lots of people are not receptive to starting relationships. :|
