    They deserve some share of the money made on a game. That share should ideally be proportional to how much money is made by the developer

    Yes, and that is what they already do, as does Unreal.

    which should be proportional to the amount of times the game is downloaded

    Eh, no. How many unique times a game is uninstalled, perhaps, but not how many over all. That’s clearly stupid.
