Yeah, I’d take a royalty option (almost) every time. Hourly billing design work is a really poor fit for the value it provides, because what we do is not repeatable by amount of time spent. I can pretty routinely do something in a day’s work that will earn a million dollars over its life cycle. That’s worth more than $800. And sometimes you sweat over something for weeks and it’s a flop. That’s not worth $20k. As long as you’re not working for someone who’s not going to screw you, which you shouldn’t be doing anyway, and you can afford a little risk, there’s no reason not to.
