# Hello, I am from Russia and I have a question if I make a game on your engine and want to sell it, for example, in steam. Do I have to give part of the money from sales or do I need to buy an engine before creating a game? Thank you in advance

Hello, I am from Russia and I have a question if I make a game on your engine and want to sell it, for example, in steam. Do I have to give part of the money from sales or do I need to buy an engine before creating a game? Thank you in advance.
