Valve needs that to pay you your cut of the skin's sales. However, you can't get cuts of PAYDAY items because you already get the complete collection of skins when your skin is in it. You still need to do the payment information stuff for your skin to be visible for the public.

So I can only recieve the repayment for supplying the skin design and can't get the fee for selling items, right?

no, usually you get a % of the money from the sales of the steammarket for your skin. This is not the case for PAYDAY. When your skin makes it in the game, you get the whole collection your skin is in for free. You are free to do whatever you like with them.

you have to mention that skin authors cant get a proper reward because of the sour whiners during crimefest who managed to force overkill to remove drills. Drills where the only chance for skin authors to get a proper reward.

false, authors for CS GO dont get cuts from market sales of skins. They only get a cut from keys sales (only the ones bought from valve, not the market ones).

The payday gun skin safe reward is worth about $50 , which is pretty lame compared to CS GO's dozens of thousands ...

And for a community safe reward... looking at current prices you can expect a whooping $2 at best... Unless they include legendaries in those community armors. Then you could "maybe" get 20-50$ for it.

Which brings up another point, Overkill really needs to reassess author's reward or they wont ever get CS GO quality level stuff. But maybe they just dont care about that xD
