Had a teacher address this not that long ago. The answer for her was yes, but rarely.
The publisher is giving the developer money during the development cycle to fund the game. They also are paying all the advertising and marketing costs, as well as the cost of manufacturing. Believe it or not, almost half the development cost comes after the game is done simply releasing it. There are quite a few games which have gone gold and were never released due to the additional cost needed to pay for shelf space and manufacturing.
Once the game is released, the developer gets their small portion of the profits, however, they are still in debt from the large amount of money loaned to them from the publisher in the first place. So they need to make enough profit to completely pay back the publisher, and then they finally get profit, and they usually do give bonuses at that point, which most games never reach.
But considering how fast people come and go in the industry, usually after the years pass and your studio finally gets the bonus, you're gone, and therefore don't get any.
So good luck Dyne. If you get fired and the bonus comes in next week, you'll know why
