Oh man, apparently, if I was going to release a commercial game on Steam, I'd need to register a company (?). All the information online is confusing and sometimes contradicting. Not gonna lie, I'm scared I may screw something very hard.
I mean, of course I expected I'll have to pay taxes and the like, but I didn't imagine it will be this complicated.
Everybody gangsta until you're required to mess with the government.
Consult lEgAl AdViSeR they say, it ain't cheap for a solo pony like me, who has a fair chance to not sell even a single copy and sink with the fees I'd generate.
I didn't think this through, I'm cooked
It's slowly making me panic.

$99 to setup a smol business? And let's add $100 for uploading a single game on Steam to it... Yeah that's expensive and risky!
I'll be devastated if I end up failing...
I'm still trying to educate myself on how it looks like in Poland, but the information online is so wonky. I've read a solo little company so called "sole proprietorship" is free to register, so... I really hope it isn't crazy. The last thing I need is to mess with the government. What will I do with this if I end up not selling a single copy? Bruh just let me pay the taxes and live peacefully!
Yeah, I've been thinking about itch.io, but it wouldn't be anywhere as efficient as having it on Steam. Here I'm hoping for at least a single person to buy the game once I put it on Steam, I would be even less confident if it was on itch.io.
I think I'd need to setup such company regardless, sooner or later, to be properly registered for taxes and insurance...
Why is life so complicated...
