Really? So what's a publishing deal (distribution, some marketing, storefront, updating, &c) that has a better split then that?
I can guarantee you you won't find one for video games, at least.
Also, Android market has the same split. So does Palm's, Nokia's, and WinMob. Blackberry is 80/20.
- dnsworks 16y ago"publishing deal" is a warm and fuzzy way to say "monopoly". Developers should be able to sell their software for a platform without being forced into using one specific distribution channel. The App Store is Microsoft's wet dream, even they have never managed to invoke Big Brother so completely.

- pkaler 16y agoClearly, you haven't heard of the XBox where the split is 60/40.
- ptomato 16y agoAnd I should note that's the split going to Microsoft and the publisher, not Microsoft and the developer. The studio is almost certainly not even getting 50% of that 60%, the way most such things work.
