I predict that will change the minute a hot indie game that would significantly boost your subscriber count says they want some amount up front/guaranteed to be listed on your platform (and the math checks out).

Unless you transparently publish your financials, there is no way to be held accountable to this system.

We could offer more stuff on top of the distributed subscriptions. But, we're not going to be changing our model without letting developers know. I'm pretty sure we'd be committing some kind of fraud.

you could always allow the indie devs to vote on "exceptions" to the model.
