Every game for me last night <| sep |> without a doubt ! I ' ve been playing since launch and I still use it often ! <| sep |> Wow aren ' t you optimistic . <| sep |> You will only have Gold on the account which is linked to that Steam account that purchases Gold . Not on both . <| sep |> Yup , venture capital would be a good way to think of it . They front the large amount of money it takes to record and produce a professional quality album and then again front the money and resources to promote the album and associated artist . They also have the advantage of having a large resource of networking already in place a large label knows big producers , media outlets , people who make promotional materials , tour managers , band managers , and so on . In exchange for all that they then control the income stream . All the money passes through their hands first and they only end up paying the artist a percentage of what is made , and usually only pay out to the artist after first recouping their investment a prenegotiated amount . Because it can take time before any money reaches the artist if at all , only a small percentage of artists ever become successful enough to surpass the initial investment by the label there ' s usually a signing bonus that ' s paid out to the artist at the time of signing their contract to cover their expenses until the record hopefully starts making money for them or they ' re able to start touringperforming to make their own money . For 90 % of bands that get signed to a record label , the signing bonus is the only money they ' ll actually ever get paid by their label since the vast majority of bands that get signed never make it big .
