minus-squareEndymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·18 days 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-up1·17 days agoYeah, even 50% would be baller. So like 20% to the storefront, 20% to the publisher, and 10% to random other costs.
