Two Steam games earned $560K, co-creator got $15K a year
Original: Two Steam games made $560K but the co-creator took home $15K/year
A game developer says two of their titles on Steam generated $560,000 across 135,000 sales, yet the co-creator took home only about $15,000 a year. High refund rates from Chinese players, Steam's 30 percent cut, and publisher fees consumed most of the revenue, leaving the developer driving a 2012 Mazda. The account has sparked debate about indie game economics and revenue sharing.
Why now: It highlights how little independent developers can earn even after solid sales, striking a chord with the gaming and developer communities.
