Creator terms

Last updated November 11, 2026.

You own your game

You keep all rights to your game. You give videogame.io permission to host it, show it, run it for players, make store pictures from it and promote it, for as long as it's on the site and as needed to keep it working for people who bought it.

What you promise

You made the game or have the rights to everything in it (code, art, music, characters, names). It follows the content rules. It doesn't contain malware, hidden mining, tracking without consent, or code that tries to reach player accounts.

Prices and our share

You set the price and our share (0% to 50%, default 10%). Card processing (about 2.9% + 30¢ per sale, set by Stripe) comes off first. Our share is taken from what's left. If the game is a remix, the original creator's share is paid out of your part.

Payouts

You're paid through Stripe Connect. You must complete Stripe's sign-up, including identity checks and tax details. Stripe pays out to your bank on its schedule. You're responsible for your own taxes.

Refunds

We may refund a buyer when a game doesn't work as described. The refund comes out of that sale.

Remixes

If you allow remixing, anyone can copy your game's files to make a new game based on it. The remix shows a credit link to your game, and you get the remix share you set. You can turn remixing off for the future; remixes already made stay up.

Removal

You can unpublish any time. People who bought the game keep access. We can remove games that break these terms or the law.
