- simondotau 3y agoBoxed software at physical retail stores was more like 70–90% of revenues, split between the retailer, distributor, publisher, and manufacturing.
- TerrifiedMouse 3y agoI doubt manufacturing gets a percentage cut - doubt they want such a cut. Manufacturing likely charges by how much you ask them to produce. They will quote you a price for your order and maybe include a discount for large volumes.
