a quick question about steam direct
There is now a $100 recoupable app fee for each application to release on Steam. Steamworks developers will pay this fee once as part of the initial paperwork, which will unlock the first appID. Once all the paperwork has been completed, and the developer is set up in Steamworks, additional appIDs may be purchased for $100 each. This fee for each appID is returned in the payment period after that game has at least $1,000 in Steam store or in-app purchases.

so wait... if I understand this correctly, we (the developers) pay $100 to release a game, and then we get $100 for every $1,000 our games make?

am I misunderstanding it?

No, you get the $100 back then you sold the first 1000 copy's (Or what the threashold is). Nothing above that.
