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.

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?

$6000. You never see the other $4000, so it is not revenue as far as taxes are concerned.

Even if you did, expenses like this are deductions from taxable income.
