They're one of the few companies that actually manage to sell "boxed software" (i.e. has not changed much in years but new customers keep buying it)

Huh. I guess the warez kids grew up and have money, now?

I read GP more as "sure they're profitable, but they didn't exactly have many expense to cover so it's not a very useful comparison to make at this point" than doubt in the profitability itself.

E.g. when SpaceX started designing the Falcon 9 the losses were astronomical (pun intended) but a car dealership running more of a profit at the same time doesn't have much to say about which business is doing better.

That’s surprising. Seems there is a niche for everything.

TIL they're Turkish
