Hello
I am a new member of the garage games comunity and I am really interesed in buy the Torque Game Engine to use with comercial purpouses. I have read the EULA, and some questions about comercial liscensing here in the forum but I still have some questions, which I really appreciate if you could answer me.
1.- I am planning in use the Toruqe engine in a comercial game which will be sold DIRECTLY from my homepage (NO OTHER PUBLISHER INVOLVED), so my question is, need I to get a comercial license for it ($10,000 USD).?
2.- By other hand about the $500,000 USD limit, as I understand in the EULA, it says that if I sell my game for my own (my home page + paypal for example), I only need a comercial license if my game produce a revenue of more than $500,000 USD, am I right?
3.- Can I promote my game FREELY in game sites, game conventions, reviews, etc. without the comercial liscense?
4.- Can I use the torque engine in many comercial products without the comercial liscense ($10,000 USD) as long as my anual revenue for this games is lower than $500,000 USD?
5.- In case of the need of a comercial license (more than $500,000 USD in revenues), is this payment anual(unlimited products) o per game?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Best regards

This is the snippet from the EULA you need to read and understand. As long as your ANNUAL COMPANY REVENUES or the COMBINED ANNUAL COMPANY REVENUES of you AND your publisher are less than $500,000, you do not need a commercial license. If you do need a commercial license, it is a one time charge.
