You got me there !The comparison with the movies is not perfect, but if so, I point to you that the filmmakers buy the film scripts
, but you get the idea - right ?
You got me there !
I'm almost sure of it.
It probably would not get millions of users, but I think up to 500,000, over time.
If I was right, selling the app for € 0.99 and not counting the "in-app billing" (which I do not know predict, but an expert software house can do it too) the buyer company would earn € 297,000 net of Google's 30% and my 10%. So about 600% of those € 50,000.
Seems my request still exaggerated?
[P.S. and do not forget that I'm talking of 500,000 Android installations: the company may also develop versions for iOS and Windows and for... browsers!!!]

The difference with a movie script is that you can read it before you buy it after signing a paper (NDA) that you won't copy it without buying.
Here you buy air without knowing what smell is attached to it
That is the question. A movie script may be protected by copyright, my idea no.
Obviously, if I had the means and the capacity to develop all this, iOS, Windows and browsers, including, I would do everything, I will not try to sell the idea.
i make my calcs here and look the results
i have one app, this app have 5 users online for day, with 5 users i make 2 dolars for day.
now pay atention ate the result
5 Users Online/day = 2 Dollars
250 Users Online/Day = 100 Dollars day
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
if I knew schedule games, I would be rich and not wasting more time

a day is long, if they only use it for an hour which is already quite long in my opinion it's only 0.08/"day" * 5 = 0.40 * ~ 30 = 12.5/month
0.08*250=20 and not 100 altho it could still be a nice 20* ~30=60 bucks a months.
theory and practice don't always match

You can't be sure it will be a great success even your game is new and great. Candy Crush Saga is not new (it's just 3 match game), Flappy Bird is not great (it's just 8 bit graphic game) but it made a lot of money. All depend on the players, the rumours, the PR channels and LUCK!
I really hope your idea will be next big successful game.

even the flappy bird idea was not 100% new, there exist games from decades ago that worked simular.
it was just in caves instead of going through pipes.
buying this is like buying an old house without seeing/inspecting it, it could be rotten to the bone so to say without knowing it.
it could be just tetris played from bottom to up

It is important that the company thinks that the game will be a success.
The question is that it is unlikely that companies read my post here.

I continue with the example of the movie:
a movie producer buys a screenplay based on his own nose, his business acumen.
Then, if the movie will be a success or not ...!
If I manage to complete it and publish it, if and when users become many thousands, it will be easier to sell the... idea!
Well, not of course the whole subject, just a first "chapter".
If he knew anything, he would just write it to a salaried employee, saving a lot.

I do not think a screenwriter send to a producer his full script if it is not protected by copyright.
