"Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is free to play. Is the revenue then from in game purchases?"
I would assume so.
CS:Go Prime was free for a long period of time - you just had to reach level 21 in the game...they only started charging again recently.
The amount of in game purchases, though? Massive. And Valve sure does like taking their cut.
- remram 3y agoWhat do you mean by taking their cut? Valve takes a cut from players buying games or items on Steam, but in this case Valve is the developer of CS:GO, so the cut is taken from themselves.

- JimtheCoder 3y agoI wasn't clear in my response. I mean taking their cut from players when they buy/sell on the marketplace. I assume that is where the money is made.
- remram 3y agoOh, the marketplace where players sell to each other! Got it, that's a neat trick
