If you are using an NBC account and try to set paid access to a group game, it shows that you earn 10% instead of 70%.

I presume it is because you must be BC member to create group items, the same might apply for earing the funds too. It just decreases the value that NBC’s earn in revenue due to the fact that you roblox decided that you need BC for pretty much everything now.
While I see why this may be considered a bug, I can also see why it may be intended behaviour. For example, if I were NBC and I edited a group item such as a shirt, I would not be allowed to without it going off-sale. If this is the case for group items, it should probably be the same behaviour for games.
If the developer of the game is NBC (it may or may not be the group owner), then they should earn as much as games on their profile would make. Without this behaviour, groups would be a work-around for evading purchasing BC whilst also evading the high tax.
If this is intended behaviour, then I think the real bug is that when a group owner loses their membership, the places still evade the 90% tax. If this is is a bug, then it should probably not be based on the user who is configuring the place, but the owner of the group. It probably gets very messy deciding these taxes on group assets, it can be used as a work-around or can sometimes get annoying having to get a BC user who has access to the game to change the game access price up.
Ok, I’ve heard that the bug is just what it displays. I think the real bug here is incorrect taxing, not incorrect display. It should follow the same behaviour as clothing does and give NBC behaviour for the person editing the item - or possibly the group holder to avoid tax evasion. Either way, the behaviour of one should match that of the other, it doesn’t make sense not to tax an NBC user 90% for games whilst not letting an NBC user sell a group asset.
At the end of the day, groups need completely revising. Lots of things don’t make sense but hopefully it’ll all be resolved in the near future.
Sales tax is probably determined client side so it doesn’t account for it being in a group (display only, group sales tax is always 30%)
You mean I don’t have to get my friend whenever I wish to put a gamepass onsale?
I don’t have BC and it says 10%, but since the group owns it it’s 70%

Oh, perfect! For awhile it seemed like, with the supposed 10%, that this was set up in a way which was rather anti-developer. Glad to see that’s not the case!
Though considering that, I’d say it’d be good to get this all fixed up, fast, with the confusion it causes.
