Q: When do I get my first payment?
A: Monthly revenue distributions start when net revenue exists from any source:
Contributors who join early could receive first payments within 1-6 months from multiple revenue sources before the first game launches. Kickstarter funding (if successful) would provide a significant one-time revenue injection in Q2-Q3 2026.
Q: How much will I realistically earn?
A: Highly variable depending on revenue sources. Examples at $1M game revenue: Founders $100K each (5 founders), Heritor $65K, Mythic $39K, Refined $16K, Forged $11K, Initiate $10K annually. Early contributors with caps earn more. Zero revenue = zero payment that month.
Q: What if I need money upfront?
A: Revenue-share only, no upfront payments. This is a long-term investment model. Not suitable if you need immediate income. Consider Game Experience Service or a commission role for faster earnings (payments could start February 2026).
Q: Do I pay taxes on revenue share?
A: Yes! You're responsible for your own taxes. Revenue share is income. Consult tax professional in your jurisdiction. We provide payment documentation.
Q: What happens to my revenue share if I die?
A: Your accumulated points transfer to your estate. Revenue share continues to beneficiaries. Specify this in your will.
