distributors get a cut anywhere between 30 to 60% of sales, so even with a conservative estimate of $10 per key, and 40k + 100k from steam, that still amounts to $420k best case scenario. that averages to $42k per year over 10 years, which means hes made about as much as if he worked as a junior coder at some company.
