minus-squareArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down3·edit-29 months agoI think Steam’s cut should probably be something like 0.05 * (log(x) + 1) where x is number of copies sold.
minus-squareCabunach@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·9 months agoYou mean that games need to have 100 000 copies sold to get to the 30% cut?
minus-squareArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·9 months agoYes. It would mean that small indie games with low sales wouldn’t be hit as hard by Steam taking a cut, and huge hits that sell millions of copies would help subsidize this.
