Post by: sjaustirni on June 03, 2017, 11:03:18 am

Hi everyone!
Just wanted to let you guys know that the debate around the Steam Direct fee has finally been settled. The result is $100/project.
Viva la IndieGameDev! :D

And people have already started abusing it XD

PS that is $100 per game, it is not a single flat fee anymore.

Asset Flipping has already started up again.

Damn.  Figures.  There was a lot of greenlight submissions for asset flips.  I guess it makes sense that all of that stuff is now just going to go directly to Steam.

I hope this stops asset flippers long-term. Unless they have thousands of dollar in bank.

I highly doubt it. They surely make more than $100 a game.
