Putting Blockland on Steam

It's for this reason I'm not sure this is such a good idea. Out of every 20$ spent on a Blockland key, Badpsot only gets like 3 of those dollars because his income is already split up among not only the government for taxes but also Garage Games. Mix Vavle up in all that and Badspot is getting very little money out of his game, and if Blockland isn't financially successful enough on Steam Badspot could be losing a lot of money.

Pretty sure those numbers are wrong.
Wasn't it stated already that Torque was a one-time payment?

He works with GarageGames I think though.
Back with all that Lego legal stuff, I think he had a choice to work with Lego or GarageGames and he chose them.
No clue about this though.

I disagree about Steam focusing on mainstream gaming, they support indie projects as well. I think Blockland could work, but I'd rather not see it go to Steam... I hate Steam, I use it because I'm forced to. :C

Taxes don't apply to the purchases.
Badspot makes $10 off each key, at least that was what I remember from an old discussion. The other $10 goes to Garage Games. VALVe would probably take $5 of that $10, but Blockland's popularity would increase giving Badspot a greater income.
