    Uhh, going to need to see some evidence of that. Literally never heard of non indie devs getting royalties or continued payments based off the success of the game.

    Actually I’ll correct myself, rockstar is the only company I’ve heard of that does big internal payouts post launch. Most of Rockstars game launches have resulted in new houses for some of their teams.

    Got any other examples to share?

      The person you were replying to was saying it’s already common to contract out devs, not that it’s common to pay royalties.
