Because 1 game like fortnite makes more money than all of steam.
- junon 4y agoThere's absolutely no way this is true.
- Kranar 4y agoJust checked and it's close. Steam is estimated to have made 7 billion in revenue in 2021 and Fortnite alone made 6 billion in revenue in 2021.
- junon 4y agoI don't know how this could remotely be estimated given both the steam store and marketplace, the various contract tiers based on prior agreements, grandfathered contracts, etc.
- KaoruAoiShiho 4y agoIt's estimated by SteamSpy and such: https://www.vg247.com/steam-4-3-bilion-revenue-2017 https://www.vg247.com/steam-4-3-bilion-revenue-2017 Of Valve's 8~ billion revenue they gross only 15-30% of that while Epic has far higher margins on their ~6 billion revenue.
- Kranar 4y agoIt's estimated due to the fact that vast majority of that 7 billion dollar revenue comes from just a small handful of games. Looking over VG Insights, almost half of all video game revenue comes from just 50 games (out of approximately 10,000 games released on Steam per year).
- ekianjo 4y agoEstimated based on whose ass?
- KaoruAoiShiho 4y agoOh it is. Either Valve is severely undervaluing their company at less than 10 billion dollars while Epic is worth 20-30 billion... or it's true.
- foolfoolz 4y agoand while steam was the only app store for pc that mattered for 15 years there’s more players in that space. valves only future in game distribution is to lose market share to epic store, microsoft store, battlenet, origin, gog, etc
- brainfish 4y ago> taking a 30% cut of all sales So four games like Fortnite make more. There are a lot of games on Steam.
