$15K/year is almost misleading, the developers took home $172,000 of $426,000.

$426,000 after refunds, $560,000 in sales - $134,000 (22% reate, which they describe as "way above" normal 10-15%)

$297,000 after $127,000 contribution to Gabe's next super yacht

$282,000 after $ 14,850 in tax to US

$172,000 after $115,000 to the publisher, which is described as the controversial amount

I think Steam's cut is far more controversial TBH, the publishers at least did something for them. There was no particular service provided by Steam unless you want to count the initial review (which costs $100 anyway).
