  I think the money accumulates over time, so you’ll eventually get a payment once you have $100 at the start of a month after fees. But there’s also the $100 up front cost to list a game, so even after the first payment you haven’t really made money

  You’d probably have to get like $200 in sales from a game before you have actually made money

  Idk this is just what I’ve heard on the internet, I haven’t experienced it myself

  I’m not a lawyer but good luck suing the biggest gaming market on the planet. Just not for me

    Maybe we should build an alternative that isn’t fucking over games devs?

      Itch is right there down the street. GoG is generally decent too (but has the same cut).

      But these kinds of things are never about litetal options, it’s about market capture.

      It’s called syndicalism. Learn it.
