How much $$ would you need to provide DEDICATED SERVER?

If Grim Dawn sells reasonably well as well as the first expansion is it likely that before or in the 2nd expansion we'd see dedicated servers? As much as I want them I think it's unrealistic for me to believe we'd getting it in the original game. But are you really wanting to put dedicated into the game at some point or is it not a big priority for you and something you'd only look at doing if you really sold well and had a lot of excess profits?

Another thing to remember is that with the 'crowd sourcing' model, a lot of the revenue that would have been generated at the release of the game has already been consumed, and there are probably still bills to be paid. If the game does well and profits are seen, I'd prefer to see them channel that into Grim Dawn 2 rather than a whole wad of cash going into online secure servers...
