So if one were to say have a pretty cool game and tutorial series on how to make it. How would they go about making money off of all the hard work they put in? I was thinking post it on Steam, as a buy the game for $1.99 get the tutorial for free?

Asking for a friend.

eh, that book is prolly not the target audience I am looking for. So to read it might be beneficial but prolly not gonna be able to use much of it.

And whoa $19+, good lord I wonder how many sales of the book there are. I was thinking more like platforms to launch it on. But I guess could do it like this guy and have a page dedicated to it.

I suggested this book for two main reasons :

- it’s quite a good book about how to build a business about html5 games, with plenty of real life advices
- this is this guy’s professional activity. He earns money from coding html5 games for years : [Online Income Report 2018 - Year In Review • True Valhalla](https://www.truevalhalla.com/blog/online-income-report-2018-year-in-review)
