I guess I shouldn't be expected to pay for games until my total is over a hundred bucks then?

I have lots of bills that are less than that every month, and yet somehow I can't just say they're not worth paying...

Happens to me almost every month. Good thing I didn't quit my day job.

Out of curiosity, have you had some big pay days? Or just enough to treat yourself?

If a game gets lost in the steam store and no one ever plays it, was it ever a game at all?

I released a game like three years ago and it's earned $97 in that time.

I feel your pain

Buy it yourself, get over 100, cash out

[–] Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 47 points 23 hours ago (10 children)

Haha, I've considered it. I'd really like to at least be able to buy pizza for the gang who helped make the game.

I used to make mobile apps as a hobby and I still get the weekly report of my dwindling numbers.

They don't seem to have an issue sending $10 refunds to my bank account, I wonder how much it actually costs them

Do they just keep your earning in your account until one month your total outstanding earnings breach the 100$ threshold and you'll receive all your earning in one transaction or does this money get swallowed by steam?
