What's really criminal is the high prices charged for large commercial software licenses, and now we know why. $1M for commission? Wtf.
You have it entirely backwards. The price isn't high because of the $1M commission. The commission was $1M because the price was high to begin with and the salesperson gets a percentage. If he were selling carpet instead of multi-million dollar service contracts he would have gotten $50.
