in the gaming industry (doesn't apply to indie games) devs get paid regularly before any game releases, and they maybe get a nice bonus if the game does well. and from then on all profits go to the production company, the devs see nothing of the millions the game they created makes
You're just describing employment in pretty much any industry, not just gaming. Employees trade the insecurity of potential revenue down the line for a guaranteed fixed payout in advance.
I make software for pharmaceutical machines, my labour alone has literally enabled billions of revenue over the past decade, I'm not seeing any of that either.
Yeah but then after they make all those billys they go on to bribe the government to make everyone's life worse, and for what? More greed.
