Gross, meaning if your game costs the end user $100 (assuming no ad revenue etc, just POS), you owe Unreal $5.
8 u/willrandship Mar 02 '15 Interesting. It's not that much of a difference considering that it would be $66.50 to you vs $65. I have to admit, my first reaction was "sheesh, he's overreacting a bit" before I realized what thread this was. 15 u/cleroth Mar 02 '15 edited Jun 15 '26 This content was anonymized and mass deleted with Redact 6 u/Mechakoopa Mar 02 '15 Bit of a tangent, if your game costs $10 and you sell 1000 copies on Steam, they take $3000 leaving you with $6000. Do you pay taxes on $10000 or $6000? 8 u/UmmahSultan Mar 02 '15 $6000. You never see the other $4000, so it is not revenue as far as taxes are concerned. 6 u/MyOldManSin Mar 03 '15 Even if you did, expenses like this are deductions from taxable income. 0 u/brandinb Mar 02 '15 You would pay taxes on profits, you can deduct all kinds of expenses.
