Google Stadia hasn’t exactly had the best year, and things aren’t improving with the company facing a bevy of criticism after announcing a pay-for-engagement model in a bid to attract more developers to its fledgling cloud gaming service.
The announcement was part of a Stadia keynote that aired early Thursday morning Australian time. The key reveal was a 70% subscription revenue offer for developers and publishers whose games are on Stadia Pro, Google’s $US10/month gaming subscription offering.

Original story: Indie publisher Raw Fury has made a simplified version of its publishing agreement available to all.
The company hopes to educate developers on what may be included in such a contract and increase transparency around the publishing process.
Raw Fury notes that the published agreement does not quite give the full picture, with little to no detail on what the marketing, PR, sales, QA and other teams can offer. This is partly to streamline the publicly available contract, but also to avoid presenting a rigid process that in practice is a little more flexible.
Instead, the agreement shows the basics of what it s like to work with Raw Fury and, by extension, some other publishers.
