Welp, I made an account on steamworks, submitted all my sensitive data and paid the fee, now awaiting approval.
Everything is so confusing, I can't say I know what I am doing.
Shouldn't it be obvious? Sell stuff, pay taxes and live on? But no, there's tons, and tons of different rules, written in some alien language. Why did the governments decide to make this so convoluted is beyond me.
There's severe lack of information available online, everything always boils down to "consult tax advisor", because that's how dum dum it all is.
Just a random quiet person trying to make a small game and put it on steam, and all the legal stuff behind that is more complicated than making the game itself.
All the legal stuff is making me so depressed, I can't shake off the feeling, that I'm setting myself up for troubles. I really hope I somehow magically manage to go through it and figure things out.

Slowing down to take a breather would be really nice, but the problem is that I don't have that time unfortunately.
At first I was taking it slowly. Thinking I'll have plenty of time for everything, that I'll publish a game, see how it goes, and still have some extra time to find a job if it fails. That's why I was initially still normally spending time here online, doing the things I was usually doing, until I realized things aren't going as good as I hoped for.
And here I am, there's so much I have to do at once, and I'm so behind with everything. The game is mostly done, but there's still some work to do. In the meantime I'll probably have to consider finding a job, because the situation is already sad, to say the least, heh.
At the very least I hope the registration on Steam goes somewhat smoothly (given I already paid the fee, so I wouldn't like it to go in vain ;-; ), and that I'll figure out what to do with all that potential tax business. I guess I'll have to visit city hall and consult tax advisor, if there will be such option for free, that is.
Just existing, by itself became very demanding.
So yeah, lots of stuff on my mind, I can't afford to slow down, not yet. All this mess makes me unable to sleep, which in turn makes me feel miserable, but I guess that was to be expected. Just a typical part of life many go through I suppose... "No risk, no gain" alright...
Eh, I hardly know what to do anymore, but I'm still trying to see it through.
I'll certainly need some luck, so thanks everyone..
