From Ocean's Dev Log dated May 2, 2024:
... there will also be two Soundtrack packs.
With my new contract, I can sell songs as external soundtracks, etc., and I've added the clause that they get 50% of the soundtrack sales.
The industry standard is, I think, 15%, but I want to help underrated music artists. Sadly, Late Kids and I still used the old contract. But if they want to work together again for Season 2, I will get them on Steam for S2.
I think this is a very smart business move.
I know of plenty of creators who monetize their digital art and soundtracks on Steam, selling them as unique downloads.
The royalty structure Ocean is offering - 50% - is a great incentive for these music entities and future music entities to continue to work with Ocean/sign up for Season 2 of SG.
I don't have any specifics on Steam residuals from these types of sales, but no one complains about receiving an extra check every XX days.
Cheers!!
