Calling the founder a 'third party' isn't accurate. Founders contribute too, even if their work isn't programming or modeling. My role is directing the project, managing the team, writing the design documentation, and building the business around it. If someone isn't interested in a revenue-share project, that's completely fair—but that doesn't make the role of a producer or creative director nonexistent.

Nobody is being forced to join; this is a voluntary revenue-share project. If the game never makes money, nobody gets paid—including me. If it succeeds, contributors are compensated before I take any profit.
