Indie game publisher and developer Crytivo have just announced that it will be giving up its cut of sales on the Crytivo Store, Steam, and any other publishing platforms they use so that developers will receive 100% of the profit from their games’ sales.
Crytivo’s various publishing partners will also receive the same benefits across all platforms for the foreseeable future.
A post added to the Crytivo Store yesterday gives some context, saying:
Crytivo goes on to acknowledge that their “talented partners” will likely be facing some financial difficulties in the months to come as the coronavirus pandemic wreaks havoc on economies the world over.
“We have seen a dramatic increase in sales over the past few months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are very grateful for the support, but we realize that there are so many people going through hardship during this time, including many indie developers."
Crytivo CEO and founder Alex Koshelkov explains:
So while you’re at home in search of new games to sink some hours into, why not support some of these guys?
“Our goal is to position ourselves as a publisher that cares about our partners and our fans. We would like to give back where we can and remain honest and fair with all of our supporters.”
