YYG: Make profit off user’s games? Why not?

There is evidence to suggest that Yo Yo Games may be looking into selling user’s amateur games on their website in the future. Mark Overmars has let us know that if this does indeed happen, the user will be expected to share the profits with Yo Yo Games.

While this is better than the previously discounted rumor that ‘Yo Yo Games would simply choose games to sell and keep the profits’ that was floating around (most likely as a result of the slightly shocking terms of service draft that was leaked), it still poses a question as to whether it is better to try and sell your game on your own site. Sure, you will not get the traffic you might do on YoYo Games, but you would have complete control over the sale and more importantly, 100% of the profit.
