That's now how you run a feminist charity event. See, all donations are supposed to go directly in to the bank account of the organizer.

Yeup, that "8% royalties" thing that goes to the woman who wins the contest only accounts for 30% of the profit, with the rest going to the head organizer. It's okay though he's claimed several times that it's business first and social issues second.

quote:

What is the profit sharing agreement for the production

Net Profits 8% goes to the creator of the original idea.
10% goes to the production company involved in the production to pay the artist royalties.

Net Profits are defined as

Revenue generated from the Game, including sales or licensing. "Net Profits" for the purposes of these Terms and Conditions means Revenue minus all expenses including royalties and all applicable taxes.

Remaining Profits

Of the remaining profits 10% will return to TFYC for future production, the other 90% will be split among all other investors based on their capital contribution during the crowdfunding stage. These contribution will be not be returned to the investors but transferred to a Charity of their choosing under The Fine Young Capitalists name. This transaction will be made through prepaid Visa on the Charities site, Bitcoin transaction or other arrangement if feasible by TFYC.

Yeah. God forbid the people ponying up the actual money to make the game, and assuming the most financial risk, be the ones who profit the most from it.

I think people are under the impression that the participants are submitting complete games to the organizer instead of concept art and descriptions. I don't know why.

Lol posted:

People keep saying “Why does the woman only get 8%”, it’s not because we don’t think she could get more (She get’s 30%+ of the profits that don’t go to charity which is more than any other single individual), it’s that the people that back us deserve to get something for supporting her. Because if they understand that relation, they’re more likely to invest in women in the future.

Ruh roh suddenly the numbers don't really add up!
edit - wait poo poo, do the artists that actually make the game (all women) only get 10% profit, the dude who runs this gets 10% and whatever he skims off the top all to himself? That's a lovely deal.
