Do you know any ways to get ridd of this shit ?
I'm not making any games yet :) but I would consider creating games as a
hobby(i.e. 3D or real time strategies).
I wouldn't like workin my butt on that game then takin a shitty 10% when
the publisher gets 90% and 100% of the work is myne!!
How do companies like lets say Origin stand this ??
