>company that doesn't make games makes less money
no fucking way

>>723905030 (OP)
As of this year they're over ten billion.
Pretty good for a private company with less than four hundred employees

>>723905030 (OP)
Steam and PC gamers are essentially parasites in the industry, they literally produce no games since Portal 2 or whatever and only exist to leech on 30% of the revenue of other devs.

>>723905348
Doesnt microsoft and sony make you pay to use your own internet service

>>723905348
>they literally produce no games since Portal 2
They've made like eight games since Portal 2.

>>723905030 (OP)
>Revenue
>Not Profit

There's zero chance Xbox was making more than NintenApple did in 2021 with how much money they blow.

No make it profit per employee : )

>>723905175
Surely Valve is working on something?

>>723905348
Pretty good deal for a storefront with market penetration so deep that even people who absolutely hate it can't shut the fuck up about it.

>>723905348
cope
other options are there for your shitty indie game

>>723905030 (OP)
>revenue

>>723905030 (OP)
$7? That's it?

>>723905630
>hehe they make more money and dont make me any games at all, my corporation wins!!!!!

>>723905030 (OP)
I don't think you know what a monopoly is, or what they mean when they say that Steam is one...

>>723905948
Covid was tough on everyone.

>>723905348
Aww, did Gabe not redeem your visa application?

>>723905030 (OP)
>Epic can't even make the list
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>723905348
Epic hasn't made a new game in decade and all they do is file lawsuits and have their CEO sperg on Twitter.

What is stopping all those other companies from making their own good storefronts?

>>723907635
Realizing that it take more then just existing to succeed

League of Legends literally took a shit over entire industry, adore to see that

In the 90s instead of going out partying and getting drunk, I bought Valve shares

They called me insane. Heh, now who is the millionare...

>>723907635
everyone already has their library built on steam

>>723907430
That list is from 2021

>>723905030 (OP)
Cool, now cut it the money spent by those company in making worthless AAA and the money spent on marketing

>>723907842
>Overall revenue keeps going up
>Third party sales keep plummeting
It truely is just the Fortnite and free games store.
Will laugh if third party sales keep going down next report.

>>723908053
Now cut out Gabe’s superyacht

Why is it ok when sony, microsoft and nintendo take 30% but it's not ok when valve does it?

>>723905348
If steam has no value for devs/publishers why do they keep paying to use it?

>>723908294
Stormfront has a subreddit

>Same revenue as EA without spending money on making games
The profit ratio must be insane

>>723908295
Because they were conveniently omitted from the shill campaign

>>723905348
and what percentage cut do sony, ms, and nintendo take?

>>723908295
They made a machine with its own OS, while valve didnt make PCs nor windows OS

>>723908776
Valve has their own os and does make hardware.

>>723908343
Pandering to the lowest common denominator makes money and everyone wants to make money

>>723905348
nintendo, sony, microsoft, and GOG all take 30% of sales from their respective digital stores

the only standout is epic games store which takes 12% but nobody uses it and people literally just download it for the free shit

>>723905348
and the "people" who play on pc/steam are subhuman turd worlders that engage only in shitty consolewars

>>723908894
99% of users never used either and only invented recently

>>723909310
The Microsoft store lowered their cut on PC to 12% as well, but it's the same reach as Epic but instead of free games it's gamepass.

>>723909514
Yeah so?

>>723909801
So its disingenuous to compare it to consoles where they earned it by making an all in one simple plug and play product

>>723910016
>you sold some guy an amd box for $700 therefore you deserve 30% of my game's sales
Doesn't sound fair. Why is sony allowed to have a monopoly over playstation games?

>>723905348
>muh 30% cut
that's the industry standard epicjeet retard

>>723906000
Kek
Steamgroids are completely braindead

>>723910153
Consoles offer a plug n play experience with no hassle, steam offers none of that and you have to build your own PC, get the specs right, set it up, update your drivers manually, etc. Steam doesn't even curate their store and allows literal malware

>>723905030 (OP)
>tencent

>>723910476
>consolefags are this retarded

>>723907758
Valve has no shares

>>723910880
And thats why the Jews hate Valve so much. They cannot leech profits off them.

>>723905030 (OP)
>all the money in the world
>NO you don't understand! I can't create a better client than valve! I just can't! NO! I cannot offer you better deals, better bundles nor better optimization! No no no no, you cannot have a forum... a forum is an impossible site to manage but we can give a rating 3-point system: 8, 9 or 10. NOT! NOT MODDING SUPPORT! That's unreasonable!!

posting in le epic bait thread!

Certainly a unique take on things

>>723905348
>its okay when sony does it while also charging for your internet twice

>>723905568
The Xbox makes its money from MTX.

>>723905030 (OP)
Steam is only worth 7 dillars!!???

>>723911457
Undervalued bigly. Im gonna buy Steam and resell for billions.

>>723905348
>publish on steam
>developers get 70% of all profits, steam handles distribution

>publish with a publisher
>developers are told by the publisher to change their game and are paid a wage with maybe a bonus if they get over 90% rating

>>723911457
Gabe spent all the money on cookies and yachts

>>723905348
Valve is based for making the best vidya handheld and making gaming on Linux viable

>>723912438

Did you mean at a loss?
That only applies up to the first year, beyond that it breaks even.

>>723905030 (OP)
You try and release your game on any PC storefront that isn't Steam and see how much it sells.

>>723913491
Most steam games fail tho

>>723905030 (OP)
It's okay when China does it.

>>723913580
And if they fail there they probably fail elsewhere too

>>723913775
Yeah?

>>723905030 (OP)
Why is it steams fault that PC gaming was ignored by every potential competitor for 20 years?

>>723914431
Because now they want a cut of the pie

>>723905348
Cope, “saar”. You have no visa, per >>723907398. Lord GabeN, praise be upon him, is the official deity of 4chan besides Hitler. We are in the PC Master Race where our frames are high and temperatures are low. You ran out of moo goo bai pan, Tencent? Valve won. They are, officially, the world’s biggest gaming company when only good companies are counted, and even if they weren’t, all the other companies are the same. Valve put out massive mega-classics like Half Life: Alyx in the past decade, so they’re basically just like Nintendo. Insert something else racist here.

Games don't make big money these days, services and whales do.

>>723905348
Hi Timmy Tencent, steam cuts are 30,25 and 20%. You should stop being disingenuous

...
Does this also include shit like the Mann co store or the CS skin market?

>>723912438
>sony increased ps5 prices a few months ago

Sure they do, they’re just not publicly traded.

>>723905348
they hated him because he spoke the truth. Gabe is worshipped for charging rent and doing nothing, it's a joke he has a cult.
