Chapter 436 Additional Benefits

After chatting with Huang Jing about the game studio.

Huang Jing also told Lin Hui that if there were no special requirements, then Lin Hui would receive a cashback from Apple recently.

Lin Hui knew that Huang Jing's so-called "cashback" was an extra share of "T-rex's Journey".

When Lin Hui checked the Apple platform monopoly, he would naturally have a guaranteed 85% income share.

According to the Apple platform exclusive agreement reached between Lin Hui and Apple, the part involved in the division is described as follows:

"Party B (Lin Hui, the protagonist's name will be directly written below for convenience)'s specific share ratio for developing games will be linked to Lin Hui's total revenue from developing games.

When the game developed by Lin Hui chose to be exclusive on the Apple platform.

If the total revenue of the game developed by Lin Hui (including the total revenue of game sales, DLC sales, prop sales, etc.) is less than 1000 million US dollars

Lin Ash can only get 85% of the share;
And if the total revenue of the game developed by Lin Hui (including the total revenue of game sales, DLC sales, prop sales, etc.) is more than 1000 million US dollars

For every $200 million increase in total revenue, Linhui will receive an additional 1% share.

And so on until the proportion of forest ash reaches 90%.

In particular, if the total revenue of the game developed by Lin Hui exceeds 5000 million US dollars, Lin Hui has the conditions to propose an adjustment to the share ratio.

The specific adjustment is mainly based on the conclusions of the discussions between the two parties, but in principle, the share adjustment ratio should not be less than 2 percentage points. "

The game "T-rex's Journey" sells for $2.99 ​​overseas.

And as far as the current situation is concerned, the game "T-rex's Journey" has already reached a total of 1692 million effective downloads overseas.

Even based on the sales price of US$2.99, a small game like "T-rex's Journey" has achieved a revenue of US$5059.08.

Previously, Lin Hui made the game "T-rex's Journey" because its revenue exceeded 2000 million US dollars, and Lin Hui had already enjoyed 90% of the sharing treatment.

According to the previous agreement, it seems that Lin Hui can at least get an additional two percentage points in the current cumulative revenue of more than 5000 million US dollars.

Of course, although the contract stated that "...in principle, the adjustment ratio for sharing shall not be less than 2 percentage points".

But Lin Hui is very clear that basically the adjustment ratio will not be higher than two percentage points.

After all, even if it is just an increase of two percentage points.

It also means that Lin Hui will have as high as 92% of the game "T-rex's Journey".

This is basically the limit.

If you want to have a higher share, apart from Lin Hui's willingness to be squeezed by the platform, I'm afraid the only way is to buy the platform.

And buy Apple?unrealistic.

At least for now it's pretty unrealistic.

When it comes to sharing between the platform and developers.

One underlying element is often overlooked:

——Whether the platform has enough strength?

You know, if the platform on which developers develop applications is not popular enough or even a half-dead platform.

Then even if the platform can give developers a 95%+ share.

It is still difficult for developers to achieve profitability.

Conversely, if a platform is very popular, and at the same time keen to tilt certain resources to developers (including but not limited to announcements, etc.).

Such a platform may treat developers more harshly even in terms of share.

But it is still possible for developers to obtain higher profits.

Therefore, when it comes to the ratio of sharing with the platform, we need to look at it dialectically.

……

In short, for now, Lin Hui thinks that 92% of the share is quite acceptable.

And happiness is mostly obtained through comparison.

Take the previous life as an example. In most cases, developers don’t get 92% of the share, even [-]% is full of twists and turns.

Therefore, Lin Hui seems to be satisfied with the current share ratio.

In short, for Huang Jing's inquiry about Lin Hui's additional requirements.

Lin Hui naturally said that there are no additional requirements, and everything can be done according to the contract.

According to Lin Hui's estimation, although it is an extra two percentage points.

But even if you estimate it by 2 percent, it is only a million dollars.

Naturally, there is no need for the rich and powerful platform side to make more fuss about this kind of matter.

Sure enough, Lin Hui received the money not long after the phone call with Huang Jing was hung up.

……

According to the information sent by the bank, the balance on Linhui 0010's card has changed from US$10912 million to US$11013.196 million.

Just in terms of the amount, it's just a change of millions of dollars.

It's not something worthy of Lin Hui's over-concern.
