The way we had been thinking about it (which seems to be an incorrect assumption) was that 1k was a pretty small amount of future revenues to recoup. The reason we had thought this was even if your game is moderately successful (like the game I built when I was 16 which made 35k), the 1k would seem pretty inconsequential, and it is simply a way for us to reduce our investment per game. Our goal has always been to invest in the future of the game. I think psychologically it may seem more greedy than it is in reality, but either way this would be a good reason to reduce the first revenue piece.
