I’d rather gaming developers have that money than casinos.

Too bad money goes directly to the publisher to decide who gets what.

If only it was the programmers and the development team that received 100% of every purchase.

100% is a bit absurd but a large portion of the income yes

Yeah, even 50% would be baller. So like 20% to the storefront, 20% to the publisher, and 10% to random other costs.

I'm willing to be ridiculous, because the pittance most workaday programmers and designers get from their hits is also ridiculous.

I'd rather indie devs have that money than greedy corporations and casinos.

Same. Most of the money I spend on games goes to indie devs, and I'll usually only buy a AAA if it's either on steep discount or actually really good. Something like 70% to indies, 30% to AAA.

They won't admit it, but most AAA game companies are casinos
