I tried Desura a while back but didn't reach the $500 threshold. So they basically stole all revenue while I was trying to alpha-fund a game. I don't think I would ever go back. I've pocketed more money with an unfinished version of Courier than I ever got trying to release through Desura (which I made $0 from).

Sorry for spamming the forum, but this is important. I want you to contact me so we can make sure you get your well earned money. Pop me an email at developerszjs@desura.com!

I would wonder if its not at all possible to sue them for the difference.

I mean contractually the law usually tries to at least make both ends of the equation equal.

Do you think they provide $500's worth of service?

Please do sue anyone. Talk to us instead. If you want your money before you hit the limit, just email us and we'll pay you the money. Simple as that! developersvup@desura.com

Hey guys!

I work with publishing at Desura.com and I'd like to clarify some things:

• The $500 limit is a suggestion, and for most developers it's ok. This can be negotiated and most important; you can always contact us and we will make sure you will get your money. Even if it's before the limit! We are not a scam - we want you to be happy so you can continue to make awesome games.
• We do Paypal or bank wire transfer. If you hate Paypal then we'll just wire the money.
• We really want you to be happy. If you have concerns; just pop us an email. We'll do our best to accommodate your needs!

Ok, let's keep on making games and have fun!    =)
