How about when a game is in "Greatest Hits" category? Where is the $29.99 going?

The only part of this I can confirm is $6 of it goes to the retailer. If it is a percentage of sales as some theorize for the licensing fee, then another $6 would go there, leaving $18 for the distributor. If it's a fixed $12, then only $12 is left for the publisher (and would explain why games don't go to $20...)
