A big difference I think... ;) They don’t specify however if those 2000 sales are at full price of $19.95 or gamepass price of $6.95. A big difference I think… ;)

And sorry Matthew, but there wont be any negotiating unless you are called popcap or you're willing to give them exclusive sale rights for X months. Normally in business there is negotiation, but when a small group hold a monopoly that all changes. I don't see why any other portal would be any different. Basically you need to bend over for them.

Not the amounts of what was sold and how much the developers got. @Matthew: Thanks for the insight. @Jake: some of them announce the fees, but there’s not much sales stats available from portals.

You can get 40% if you have a ton of clout. If you approach established portals like RealArcade as a first-time developer, though, expect to be hit with 25%. Of course, everything is negotiable (in business you don't get what you deserve; you get what you negotiate). Royalty from portals is more like 25-35% today.

Some are actually published on their sites. I thought portal fees were more like 60-65%. Some are actually published on their sites.
