An update to the Steam Workshop earlier today has allowed for new revenue sharing options for contributors. Item creators in Team Fortress 2 and Dota 2 workshops can now allocate a percentage of revenues from in-game sales to the toolmakers who aided in the items' creation. This service is in recognition of the success of the Steam Workshop, producing over $10 million in royalties paid to item creators since the launch in October 2011.
Valve employee Alden Kroll justifies this move stating:
When you now submit an item to the workshop from one of these games, you can select from a list of companies, organisations or individuals to receive a portion of revenue from that particular item's sales. The good thing for creators is that the contribution will be made from a set percentage, redirected from Valve to the toolmakers and NOT taken from the item creator's royalty.
A basic list of organisations has been compiled on the Team Fortress 2 and the Dota 2 Workshop pages, but Valve are encouraging Workshop users to add to this list where appropriate.
