I am growing really annoyed at the fact that people think Income Share on a project is someone looking for Free Labor. I realize people are suspicious because there is a lot of kids out there with unrealistic goals and/or dreams however Start-Up game studios also rely on the Income Share pay mechanic in order to get started. So by people not willing to look into this style pay structure is harming the independent developer market beyond repair because private investors and banks won't deal with a game company who have not already had successful products on the market. Income share in the Game Development community does involve some risk for the party agreeing to accept the term but the company is also giving away percentage of the income which is also a very risky thing because if that person does not stick around then the company is stuck paying royalties to a developer that is no longer on the team.
