I doubt there will be a percentage royalty given to set designers if the Lego
Factory is ever opened to the general public. That would be a paperwork/legal
nightmare to implement.

A good tradeoff might be to give designers credit toward future purchases of
their own. That stays “within the system” - no checks to mail, etc. When a
designer’s model is purchased, that designer’s account gets a credit. Very
simple, right? :) (Spoken as a computer programmer.)

What happens if a child creates a huge $500 set in Digital
Designer and asks their parents to order it?

I assume the process will be: design the model, upload the model, pay for the
model, then the system goes through the fulfillment process. That keeps Lego
from being stiffed. It doesn’t protect against a kid being disappointed that a
parent won’t fork over the credit card for their expensive monstrosity. But
there’s not much lost there either - similar to a kid asking their parent for an
expensive toy in a store, albeit with more up-front effort by the kid.

Limiting model size can keep the designs within the realm of typical consumer spending habits AND more importantly is probably required anyway, since I seriously doubt Lego (...)
