Thanks for the questions everyone. I don't have any additional information to provide about how royalties are calculated beyond what is listed in the FAQ at this time. I'll share relevant updates here when available.

FYI, I'll be celebrating the holiday season with my family after this Friday and will remain offline through the beginning of January. I'll check in when I can, but please be patient with any delayed responses.

I hope that you all have a fantastic and safe holiday season!

Mat Hayward

Oh I'm hurt. I thought WE were your family? 

...Is there any minimum royalty in effect?

Having watched the custom royalties after the Pro Edition was announced in April, I have been happy to note that nothing has been lower than the 38 cent minimum on subscription royalties....

I've had 5 custom 33 cent sales in January.

Mat would not provide more information at the time about contributors seeing lower rates for sales than 38 cents (for me; 33 or 36 cents depending on lifetime sales).

I've been watching the numbers since and had been pleased to see nothing below 38 cents for a custom sale, and in January, some higher custom amounts than in 2021 - $1.99, $2.20, $4.95 instead of $1.2x or $1.3x)

Until this evening. I had a "custom" sale for 33 cents. Then a second one.

I am really upset that Adobe's gone this route. I realize this is only one two sales, but it means they've eliminated the floor on royalty amounts and punched a hole in the dyke.
