If your game generates revenue (e.g., in-app purchases, ads), we will share revenue with you according to the separate Payment Terms agreed upon in your developer dashboard. Unless otherwise stated, revenue share is calculated net of platform fees (e.g., TikTok’s commission, payment processor fees) .
