@gamerslaststand: Reality check: 50% of games on Steam sell < 100 copies. 8,000 don't even recoup the $100 fee to list their game. #SteamGames #GameDev #IndieDev #GamingIndustry #GameDevelopment #IndieGameDev #GameDevLife
This is good because it will keep the AI trash at bay - at least a good portion of it.

I mean do they only have 1 year to get their money back? also maybe im crazy but I feel like $100 is a pretty cheap cost to sell your game on a major platform.

yall are assuming a LOT. Ive shipped multiple games on Steam as part of various indie teams and only maybe 2 have made that 1k back. If you dont have a publisher or money to pay for advertising you wont make it on Steam. The biggest issue with Steam is so many games are released weekly that you will drown if you dont advertise

seems like they want to make sure you're serious and are actually willing to take a risk for the game you believe in.

considering you have to buy a xbox developer kit which costs thousands to make games for xbox, this is really not a bad price

so basicly if you sell enough to earn 999 dollars you tecnicly make 899 but if you make a 1000+ dollars you make 1000+ ok
