I did not say it like the "whole post isn't true". I bolded the part I to which I was replying. You posted a blanket statement ("Second, the developer gets nothing. They have been payed by the publisher already for their work hours.") and I said that often isn't the case. It's as simple as that. If you didn't mean that as a blanket statement then, by all means, clarify. I can only respond to what you've posted. Also, I would like some souces for why developer bonuses aren't "significant in the grand scheme" or your "covered in a few thousand sales" comment. What are you basing this off? That doesn't really make much sense, as royalties keep building as long as the game generates revenue. Yes, it's a case by case basis. That's the point and why a general statement like "the developer gets nothing" has no real value. No idea what you're talking about with the publishers not being victims comment, as I said nothing like that at all. |
As far as i know this isnt like Actors. They get a premium if the game reaches X ammount of sales, but they don't get paid a share per copy sold. The workers i mean. If its an independant developer it depends more on the contract between the companies.
