No duh?

According to u "25% (aka $15) goes to pay the art and design guys."

So if a game bombs SEGA only pays the design artists 25% of what the game sells? But if a game sells millions of copies SEGA will still use 25% of that money to pay it's design artists? Is this honestly how u think businesses are run?

if a game bombs the company obviously takes a loss. are you seriously not grasping this concept? SEGA spends X amount for development. now those guys are paid off sega gets 27 dollars per copy sold back for being the dev studio. it doesnt go to the developers. this is an easy concept to grasp. and since the devs are paid off if they dont get back the money they used to make the game they are out of luck. you make it seem like the devs dont get paid till the game goes on sale

 

Actually along with all the employee percentages were also publisher percentages, "1.5% (just $1) goes into the publisher's pocket."  So it was actually you who makes it seem like employees & publishers are getting paid at the same time. 

And looking at that qoute, how are publishers taking one dollar if they haven't broken even yet?  I can see why noname stopped arguing with u a while ago.
