We tried to get a percentage, figuring that our value added on top of all the infrastructure they had was worth atleast that much. Long story short, the prop firms weren't interested. It's a better for them to just hire new people, to maintain what they've got, it's that lucrative. Though that's starting to dry up as trade developers aren't cheap to hire anymore whether or not they are good. A lot of people I worked with back then have deals arranged where they get cuts now. It makes little sense for them not to.
