Not wanting to be negative but why would a developer want to spend their time/money making your game (and getting 55%) when they could spend that time making their own game and get 100%? If they can't come up with an original idea it isn't as if there aren't thousands of old computer and board games they could be ripping off.

Because not all of those gifted at coding are also gifted artistically

To be technical. Apple takes 30% leaving both devs 70% to share.
Artist - 31.5%
Coder - 37.5% (adding both those gets 69%, I don't want to do more math)

Ugh something new please. This looks like Topple and Flexis. Where are the innovators?

generally speaking, if they provide good artwork and music and the developer is not able to make them with the same quality, it can be a good deal. Don't forget that many users buy judging only screenshot - that is, artwork.
