DMs Guild [SOLVED] I have a question about DriveThruRPG's Royalty rates.

First Post
I have been making small time content on DM'sGuild for a bit, but I found out that DriveThruRPG is a decent alternative, and even might give you higher royalties for your work! So I looked into this and found different information in the following official pages:



The top link has a recent date of February 23, 2021 17:20 with it. Does anyone know if this was a typo, or a recent change in policy (It almost looks like they just c/p'd the DMsGuild info, actually)? I've read many articles and pages, even official, cite it at 65-70% royalties. And if this is a real change, can you provide a link to somewhere like an article that talks on it?

A quick Google search hasn't offered an answer, but maybe I am missing something?

That’s an article about Community Content Programs (ie DMsGuild and others). The royalty rate on those is 50%.

If you are not using a community content program, and simply publishing yourself on DTRPG, the royalty to you is 70% if you are exclusive with them or 65% if you are not.
 

Well, I guess some sleep deprivation makes you miss some details like that, thanks a ton!
