As a creator and collaborator, being able to set on a per-project basis a revenue split to go between my own and other Itch accounts is a Really Important Thing. Particularly for Physical Games, a number of the other platforms used have this feature, and it makes it a challenge to split an audience to multiple platforms so that collab projects can have the split automatically applied. I want to support the growth of indie games and Itch has been important for that, but I think this is a requirement that we still need put into place.

Yeah, I never want to deal with DrivethruRPG again, but the one thing they have over itchio is easy revenue sharing. And they've gotten some big projects from it! Uncaged, for instance. I'd love to see a big itchio-first RPG anthology.

This option is critical for me to be able to move all of my projects to itch for sale; I typically work with and split revenue with a team of collaborators.

Handling the paperwork and payouts separately is a ton of extra labor and time that prevents me from using this platform for all but my smallest solo projects.

I would LOVE it if there was an option to do this. I've wanted to start major projects over here instead of DMsGuild/DriveThruRPG but since I'm frequently working with multiple collaborators, I've been stuck places where I can split the revenue. 

It is also a main motivator in where we direct people primarily, currently DTRPG is our main platform because of our business model, focusing on profit sharing. We put stuff up on itch, but that has been voted to go to a company warchest for future use, and not paying our creatives because have 6 and counting books each with different contributors functioning under a different % of profit splitting based on contribution.

The more we put out, will make it increasingly more and more impractical to manage the paperwork without expensive software (that we cant afford and would rather focus on continuing to put money into the pockets of our creators)

If Itch enabled profit sharing, we'd quickly and decisively make Itch our primary platform.

This would make my life so much easier and I have friends that would appreciate it too. People really shouldn't have to do the bundle thing that the games Can Androids Pray? and Cellular Harvest have done as a workaround. Game development is usually a collaborative process.

I also really wish that bundles could be split on a more granular level than whole percentages. Once you have a number of games in there past 5, it gets really hard to divide the proceeds unless someone wants to Paypal the other devs the extra money they've received. I love Itch but both of these features would make my life easier.

I currently only have one personal project up and in work on my platforms, that is a solo project. But i have a handful of projects currently in planning and currently in development that will require a profit splitting option, which means that a have to primarily focus on DTRPG, which is... not ideal. but it's where my options require me to be. I'd also go all in on itch if they added this. 

I have a project I'm working on right now where a revenue split would be SO CONVENIENT. I want to publish this project on itch.io but currently am not able to because of there being no revenue splitting option. :( 

revenue sharing would make it much easier for us to collaborate with other creators, especially those that work in the creation of digital games

Revenue Sharing is sorely needed. Its going to help larger projects take place on itch. There is no real downside to it. I have people I am collabing with and we are hesitant to use Itch becouse the lack of revenue sharing.

I would also love the ability to do revenue share with people I hire for work - artists, editors, etc. I have had not great experiences with DriveThru RPG; I also don't want to make more D&D related content if I can help it because I've not had a great user experience with OBS.

I want to focus on making more games, and less time trying to sort out pre-projects how I'm going to be able to pay everyone equally and equitably if the platform I use for releasing projects doesn't have revenue share.

I've said before what a hugely important feature this is for me, but I want to say it again.

There is nothing that would make me more inclined to publish work than being able to fairly share revenue without relying on kickstarter.

it's a long-awaited option that would be extremely useful

It seems to me that it should be one of the priorities for this cool and handy website

A revenue split option for multiple creators across accounts would be incredible, and there'd be no reason not to have all my various projects here.

Larger games w/ multiple creators on them would be much easier to manage with this option. Even just having a 2-3 account option and a slideable percentage distribution would be very helpful

This is my most desired feature from itch.io. Collaboration is a source of creative energy, but I shy away from it because it's a wearying accounting commitment. I'm sure I'm not alone. Revenue apportionment functionality would unlock a lot of collaborative energy for people. 

Like many folks here, I would happily port Hydra Coop products over to Itch. But with multiple authors and royalty splits under a single publishing umbrella, there's no point in us doing so until we can continue paying our creators based on our existing agreements.

Also very interested in being able to do this.

oh this would be incredible!! There’s so many talented people on here that I would love to collaborate with and revenue sharing would be great for that! It would also help with bringing contributing writers into projects, anthologies, and everything else everyone’s brought up upthread of me. 

I would be able to bring so many sorts of different projects here and make sure pay between collaborators is done in a fair and equitable way. Currently if I want to do revenue sharing, it's a mess.

Yes, please. Since this option exists for bundles already, I believe that itch.io can reasonably include this in products as well. Please do so and enable collaborative projects to properly and conveniently monetize on your platform.

This is one of the most needed updates to itch.io. it would allow for more collaboration and collaborative game jams, the potential for higher quality products, and facilitates easy bookkeeping for co-ops, translators, and single-project teams with shares-as-pay agreements

Definitively would find this awesome. And would open up the option of full collaboration with most folx from my country.

Being able to split revenue would be incredibly helpful!

Gotta agree with the above; I'd be bringing heftier projects onto itch.io if I could do revenue splits or effectively automate royalties for stuff like layout and art.

i would also like this Feacher...not just because of collaborations, but for derivative works, like, a creator can say "you can hack my game but pls give me x%"

🌈ideally🌈 you'd be able to enter any payment-linked email address, not just itch accounts—so that revenue can be sent directly to a charity or wherever—but i know that's probably something that just cannot be legally/practically implemented

itch.io needs this feature and the ability to donate directly to creators (one time or reoccurring) 

This would be great.

PLEASE add this as a feature. I would love to do a writing compilation, but I don't want to have to manually send people money whenever there's a sale, and it would be so much more enticing for people to join if there was revenue sharing.

Hello! I revive this thread because I think it can be so easy to enable it, it already exist with Coop Bundle! And I this feature will be a killer feature for all indies who don’t want to create a big structure for this.

found this topic while googling to see if this feature exists – would be super useful.

Bumping to keep this towards the top. This would help with SO MANY projects.

I am honestly completely floored that this hasn't been implemented yet. This would make so many things easier! I understand there might be some logistic difficulties, but if they can do it for bundles, they can do it for individual projects.

if you make a deal with someone, all they have to do is give you their email on itch and that's it, no boring additional banks or papers work. Once itch implements this feature, i have no doubt other giants like steam will have a new competitor, because no one likes to have more than 30% of their earnings cut, or pay 100 dollars before publishing.
