Interesting.... can't believe some sponsors pay so much for so little... Some of those games are very easy. I was expecting like a Alien Hominid kind of game to get lots of money.
There are cases when games can get over sponsored, but i think generally they get what they deserve. If you spend a solid week working on a game, why shouldnt you get a good few hundred bucks? Its a skill, which isnt particularly easy to learn.
Take a look at this game for example. I think the coder and I made £50 each off that game. You might think thats pretty steep for such a simple game that only took a day to make, but look at its stats.
Thats 500,000 people who have seen the sponsors logo and had a chance to visit his site. If 2% of the people who have played the game click his link, thats 1000 unique visitors to his site, as well as content for his site, for £100. Not bad really!
