minus-squareArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoI think the cut should probably be something like 0.05 * (log(x) + 1) where x is number of copies sold.

minus-squareArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 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.
