If writers get royalties, and actors get residuals, what do game devs get?

Is there even a word for is and- if not- can someone make one up?

Indie game devs get a friendly pat on the back (if their game is free). Or a shitstorm if the game is paid and there is still -one- bug.

loot

You would have to have a publisher, and if that publisher would re-publish your game, put it in a bundle and so on, you would get whatchamacallits as per your contract.

Other than that, there are license fees that might apply in some situations. 

My made up word would be:

DLC. Delayed Cash
