Samsung changes its income sharing policy and reduces its reduction for certain applications so that developers and publishers can get more sales money. As part of its advertisements before the next conference of this year’s game developers (GDC), the company said it was implementing an 80/20 income sharing model for games on the Galaxy Store. Previously, Samsung had a 70/30 sharing model, in which he took 30% of the income from an application. The new model also applies to games built on the company Cloud game platformwhich allows players to broadcast games without downloading them.
By adopting the new model, Samsung Sape Google, which implements a 70/30 division. However, it should be noted that Google only drops 15% For the first million dollars in income that the developer wins each year. The company will only gain a 30% drop for profits above $ 1 million. Google also takes 15% to automatically renew subscription purchases.
The Samsung Galaxy Store is far from being the Big Google’s Play Store, but it is still preinstalled on Samsung phones and could still be used to buy games by millions of users around the world. An 80/20 structure would always benefit a developer even if it mainly obtains its Play Store affairs on Android devices. The new revenue sharing model will take effect on May 15, 2025.
