Samsung, EA spice up revenue deals in developer-friendly programme


EA’s mobile games publishing division, Chillingo, will spearhead “100% Indie,” so named since Samsung will let independent developers keep 100% of their revenue for six months, versus the usual 30% cut offered by other platforms like Apple Inc.

After the six months, developers give Samsung a 10% revenue cut and keep the rest. The slice to Samsung rises to 20% the following year, with the company taking 30% of revenue only after two years, similar to Apple Inc’s App Store and Google Inc’s Google Play deals.
