based on the dev post, all money earned from activation are share by the other community members who buy fee shares. so the dev will not take all those money for himself and not everyone or only a fraction of those 1.2M participants will ever buy an upgrade.
It's just Dev words but we ourselves don't know the reality in the future because everything can change when someone has got a lot of money in hand, as our friend said above to forget it and never pay anything
