前Treyarch开发者呼吁移植版销售向原开发者分成

Former Treyarch level designer Gavin Goslin said on LinkedIn that developers should receive royalties when older games are ported to new systems, calling it "hard to watch" Xbox profit from the recent Black Ops 1 and 2 PlayStation ports. The $40 digital re-releases with no new features reportedly sold 11.2 million copies combined in July, earning around $435 million in one month, according to Alinea Analytics estimates. Goslin argued that legacy revenue should mean retroactive rewards for the developers who built those games.
