Since it's quite bananas that a lot of players still do not understand the economy behind game development, I thought it'd be best to just break down a real example of a really successful first-time developer who managed to make a deal with a publisher.

They released a critically acclaimed game that sold 2m copies at 20$. How much does the dev actually earn?

🧵THREAD: How Selling 2 Million Copies of Your Game Can Still Leave You Broke

Game dev economics are brutal. Let’s break it down.
You make a hit. You sell 2M copies. And you still can’t fund your next game. Here’s why: 👇

1. Your game cost $10M to make.
A publisher funded it. They also spent $2M on marketing.
So you owe them $12M before you see a dime.

2. You price the game at $20.
But let’s be real: most sales happen during Steam discounts.
Your average sale price ends up around $10.

3. You sell 2 million copies. Success, right?
Gross revenue = $20,000,000

4. Now subtract platform fees.
Steam takes 30%.
$20M – 30% = $14M left

5. Publisher takes first $12M to recoup dev + marketing.
You haven’t made a cent yet.

6. That leaves $2M to split.
Your deal is 70/30 — in the publisher’s favor.
You get $600K. They keep $1.4M.

7. Now subtract tools + taxes.
Engine licenses (~$15K)
Taxes (~50%)
You’re left with ~$292,500

8. So after selling 2M copies...
You, the dev, have ~$292K in the bank.
Your next game also costs $10M.
You’ve got 2.9% of that.

9. You made a hit — and can’t afford to go again.
This is the trap:
Success doesn’t equal freedom.
Not when platforms, discounts, recoup, revenue splits, and taxes eat everything.

10. Want to self-fund your next game?
Then your current game has to:
• Sell more
• Stay at full price
• Or be self-published
Anything else = the cycle continues.

11. TL;DR:
2 million copies sold
$20 million earned
$292,500 in your pocket
Dev life is way less glamorous than it looks.

Stay sharp. Stay indie (if you can). 💀

@THEVOICEVILLAG1 Hola! El 30 de enero fue el último episodio... ¿ha sido cancelado el podcast? Gracias y saludos.

Con el adiós de Rafa Nadal, el balear deja el que para mí es uno de los récords más LOCOS de la historia del tenis.

Rafa tiene más títulos en tierra batida (63), que derrotas en esta superficie (50).

Tiene un récord de 483–50, más de un 90% de victorias.

Increíble 🤯

[Tiempo De Tenis @Tiempodetenis1]

La presentación de los títulos de Rafa Nadal en Roland Garros siempre va a ser icónica.

Any other answer is wrong

[Andy Murray @andy_murray]

I think the best athletes/players are the quickest thinkers and this is perfect illustration of this. Notice how Rafa gets up from the fall…Sees that the incoming ball is slow enough that he will reach it so takes a split second to wipe his right hand on his thigh in case he needs it to hit a backhand later in the point ❤️🔥

[Swish 🍒 Tennis @Zwxsh]

Imagine winning 10 titles somewhere with a 90%+ win percentage, and it's only your FOURTH best tournament 😭

Fan-Ho ha sido uno de los mejores fotógrafos callejeros del Siglo XX. Pocos han dominado la luz y la composición como él. Durante los años 50/60 fotografió la empobrecida Hong Kong.

@EzunigaR @RAEinforma Pues curiosamente la aplicación de libros de Apple en iPad, al cambiar el tamaño de letra o según leas en vertical u horizontal, puede caer en ese fallo. Gracias por la referencia al tweet de la rae!

Cada vez que entro a Twitter y le doy a inicio para ver nuevos tweets, me aparecen 3-4 tweets de Melon Tusk.

Es tan insoportable el caso que he dejado de seguirle. Y tras un rato... Sorpresa. Madre mía. 🙄👇
