A percentage over the revenue is a royalty. I have already a royalty of 30% to App Store and iOS store.
An hammer is an hammer and it shouldn’t cost more just because you know to make good use of it with your work and sweat. 5% of 1000 euros = 50 5% of 10000 euros = 500 5% of 20000 euros = 1000 <- In my country I can hire a junior developer with this monthly value 5% of 40000 euros = 2000 <- In my country I can hire a senior developer with this monthly value I personally don’t like royalties...
