Oct 5th 2010 2:06AM (Joystiq)Sources: Red Dead Redemption development in trouble [update]
Jan 12th 2010 5:25PM (Joystiq)Typically the way it works is the Developer proposes the idea to the Publisher who hands off an amount of cash to pay for development. After release, the Publisher gets ALL profit from sales until their original investment is remade. At this point it depends on the Publisher, but some do 80% 20% (developer) after they get their money back, or they set a line (IE: Original cost 100mil. They get 100mil + 50mil and then start giving money to the developer)
It is very rare that developers make very much money off their games. Usually they just get a higher budget for the next game if it does well.
