Find a new way to get funding, because you don't need a middle man to hold all your money when you are doing all the work. Advertising only really works when you are making a blockbuster.

Even worse for CDs, $1 of a $20 CD goes to the artist.

You're right, companies like EA and Activision need to become philanthropists and donate $30 million to anyone who wants to make a big game.

Cut out the retailer and distribution. I guess giving some for platform royalty is fine, though, but nearly all of it should go to the publisher. That would encourage them to give a lot more to the developer than they currently do.

If the publisher didn't get money how would the developers even get paid?

You do realize there's no separate slice in that pie chart for the developer, right?

Which is why everyone should pirate their music, but mail a $1 check to the recording artist when they do so.
