Undead Labs Posts Profit Sharing Plan

Undead Labs, makers of the upcoming zombie-based console MMO, have posted their Employee Profit Sharing Plan for all the world to see.

Founder Jeff Strain has taken a stance to make sure that the people who pour their blood, sweat, and BRAAAINS into the making of this game will see the fruits of their labors. While their lawyer expressed that posting the plan online was not advised due to the fact that other companies could steal the model, Jeff was hoping that would be the exact case:

"I actually want other studios to copy our plan. My hope is that those studio heads that do not already offer a written plan can use ours as a template and offer it to their own developers. It’s a great way to treat developers. And it’s just good business. Trust is earned, not granted. I hope to earn your trust by creating a fair plan, putting it in writing, and standing by it."

Strain has set his model so that it cannot be changed. Developers will be rewarded for their work as the game continues to progress, as opposed to funneling money to higher executives.
