minus-squareEndymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up16·3 months agoI’m willing to be ridiculous, because the pittance most workaday programmers and designers get from their hits is also ridiculous.
minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 months agoYeah, even 50% would be baller. So like 20% to the storefront, 20% to the publisher, and 10% to random other costs.

minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-23 months agoSame. Most of the money I spend on games goes to indie devs, and I’ll usually only buy a AAA if it’s either on steep discount or actually really good. Something like 70% to indies, 30% to AAA.
