- georgemcbay 11y agoRoyalties are a thing in the game industry, not universal or even the norm, but they do exist. I mean, they do everything they can to screw employees out of them using Hollywood-style accounting, but it is incorrect to say "No employee at a company ever received royalty for the code they write for the company".

This was written on a leave of absence, though.
