How much do devs and publishers make off new ($60) and price dropped ($20) games?

Not a lot possibly less than 40% after the publisher and retail distribution takes there share

If publishers and developers (mostly the publisher though) would start making games that were actually worth $60, stopped selling on-disc DLC, and stopped making crap, overpriced DLC, maybe people would be more willing to spend the money on a new game. I
don't buy used games, I like my games new, but I sure as hell don't drop $60 on a game that isn't worth it. I'll wait til the price drops and buy it new for $20-$30.

Steam has these sales because the Devs/Pubs know that they are going to get a definate amount from that sale, (random number) 20% of a £20 title is still something for the developer/publisher to put back into their next or current projects whether it be
funding DLC or keeping servers going. Instead of having to price so high that they can cover for the loss in used games. If a game is £60 and a dev gets £20 on a new sale that's good, but with used games they see nothing.

with digital you can see games at a more reasonable price of 30-40 and the dev will still get some of that money from the sale.

....

By always getting money from sale game prices can drop because they wont need to have a big price tag so devs/pubs are covered. also by cutting out the cost involved in Manufacturing boxes, printing manuals, and writing discs. the lower price does become
a more believable reality.

.....

By doing this sure Game and Gamestop lose money which is a shame, but besides the fact you get minuscule amounts back from trade ins, because devs/pubs have more funds for games the games start to get better and the used game market again should not be needed.

i'm actually tired of the standard price structure. i think publishers developers should charge what they think is a fair price for their game. i'm tired of seeing good studios go under because their game cost to much to make a profit of the standard 60$
price.

and i'm also tired of seeing publishers devs rush games out unfinished because if they delay it any longer they wont make back their investment. and i'm tired of seeing sequel after sequel of the same game running on the same old game engine like call of
duty because they want to make a profit under the current prices standard.

Give it a few weeks, it should be down to $30-$40 new. New games have been dropping in price pretty quickly in the last few years. Maybe publishers/retailers got the message that $60 is steep for games this generation?

Yup this game is going to drop in price extremely fast.
