So you think that all the money goes to the publishers and the devs get nothing? I doubt it. I can imagine how well that would go down.

'SOOOO! We want you to work on DLC for your game and we're going to sell the exclusive rights. Unfortunately we've decided we are keeping all the money for ourselves, now get working.' 

Anyway most of the bigger studios publish their own game. 

Devs have no say in these decisions it all up to the publisher. Devs are paid to make a game with a set budget before these deals are made unless Sony,MS are funding the game.

Gun for hire devs maybe. But if it's your own game and you have a publisher I'm sure each deal will be unique and I'm sure share of revenue is the standard deal. I could be wrong on this though. Anybody know?

Anyway, again, most big developers publish their own games.
