I wish we could know what's the percentage for Steam.

  Best guesses place it at around 30%

    GOG.com and Steam take 30% that is highway robbery. I bet you they make more money then most developers.

      I don't think it's much a shock that they make more than individual developers.

  30%: "Notch on why Minecraft still isn't on Steam": http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/07/25/notch-on-why-minecraft-still-isnt-on-steam/ http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/07/25/notch-on-why-minecraft-sti...

    That 30% refers to something else (according to the article, 30% of PC games sold are sold on steam).
    • reubenmorais 13y ago
      No, it's about Valve's cut. ~75% of digital PC games sold are sold on Steam. "Valve captures 75 percent of the global market for digital PC games through its Steam store, researcher IHS Screen Digest has estimated." http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-11-04/valve-lines-up-console-partners-in-challenge-to-microsoft-sony.html http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-11-04/valve-lines-up-cons... And also: "Publishers earn a gross margin of around 70% on Steam, compared with 30% via retail stores." http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2011/0228/technology-gabe-newell-videogames-valve-online-mayhem.html http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2011/0228/technology-gabe-newel...
