Hey everyone. My name is John and i work for a company called Epic App Development LLC. We are trying to expand and are looking for loyal game developers. There is a lot more to it so if your interested email me at johnepicapps@yahoo.com.

PS we do not pay at a fixed price or rate. You get paid by percentage of gross revenue. Remember gross and net aren't the same.
So, I'm curious what all these companies that offer developers a percentage of the profit of the game the developers themselves has to develop are actually offering the developer, other than the kind and useful service of taking some of their cash off their hands. Seems like kind of a bum deal to me, but then again I'm unschooled in the ways of the world, and might be missing some vital and very important point.
Perhaps this is a profit sharing deal, and the idea is that anyone who makes a quality best selling app will very much be interested in joining and sharing the money they make with the legions of people who take two weeks to make another "tap the things on the screen hurf durf" game? Because I could see that being a very attractive proposition.
Or maybe these companies offer the developers amazing ideas they should make. God knows I don't have people offering me ideas every other day, and generously offering to take a share of my profits once I spend 2 years making it. On my own dime.
And there certainly aren't any starving artists out there on the interwebs, so perhaps they are offering their amazing art resources?
And god knows there are no amazing musicians that would love to see their music get some exposure, so perhaps these companies are offering their library of licensed music?
And what impresses me more than anything else are companies that can't afford their own domain name, and use yahoo.com instead. If anything tells me that this is a company that takes it's clients seriously, and is prepared to enter into a partnership that helps all parties, it's a yahoo.com email address.
Now I'm sure there are some developers out there way more talented than me that will jump at this amazing opportunity, but due to my own slowness, my incapacity to understand the benefits of such basic economic structures as the one you propose, and the fact that my mom doesn't let me use email because she says I will be molested by dirty old men, I'm afraid I can't help you and have to make a long winded post here instead :(
Sorry.
@christophersisk - thanks, that gave me a chuckle...
@jadey - good luck with your endeavors
