Title: 50%+ EL Royalty Reduction?
Post by: ffNixx on September 13, 2010, 03:23

A diamond exclusive that sells an EL at the minimum subscription credit of 0.95, currently gets paid out 0.47. Under the new system, if this diamond drops to 35% royalty, loses the 10% EL bonus, and with the minimum sub credit being reduced to 0.65, the payout is 0.23, less than half of the current payout.

Is my math correct?

if it results in the contributor getting screwed I guess yes.

Absolutely. I've had a few of those. The subs credits can be used for anything, including ELs.

Ok, it's subs credits, but then they need several subs credits to make an EL, right?

The OP induced me to think that a buyer could get a EL for a few cents.  I suppose this is not the case.
