Before you turn on Steam Workshop revenue: 3 things modders find out too late (#ad)

Getting an item accepted into a curated Workshop (CS2, Dota 2, TF2) is the hard part, but the payout side trips people up too:

  1. The tax interview can't be saved halfway. Do it in one sitting, with the same legal name you used in contact info.
  2. Payment needs a bank account in your own name that accepts USD. PayPal isn't an option.
  3. The first payment comes no earlier than 90 days after first distribution, and may wait until you've earned $100.

The free page covers the official 25% revenue share and acceptance numbers. The full guide ($2.99, not affiliated with Valve, no income promises) walks through bank, tax forms, withholding and team splits:
