Distribution on Steam

Swarmer · 2008-10-29T19:45:01

Does anyone have a general estimate of what it costs to distribute a game on Steam? (just the Steam cost itself, not any development cost) I already know that it is very hard to even be considered for distribution on Steam. I was just looking for a ballpark estimate for some long term planning. Are we talking about like $5,000, or is it more like $20,000, or even $100k? Thanks.

Microsoft take 70% of XBLA games sales if I remember correctly.

For the XNA creators club it is a 70-30 split but MS only take 30%, not 70%
