I know cryengine is free to use as long as you don't charge for your games,but what if you want to charge?
The rumor is that companies pay around 1.2 million dollars for 1 license. I mean for me,a single developer would be impossible to pay that amount of money.

Do you know if they can make something like: we get 40% and you the rest?
Or how does this work exactly?

We want you to make games with CryENGINE 3 that people will want to play. We hope that your work will lead to a product you can commercialise. If this is the case, before you can sell your work or your game, you must seek a development license for CryENGINE 3. We’ll offer a royalty-only license model for Independent Developers, where Crytek require only 20% of the developer’s revenues from the commercial launch of their game.
