Valve's reported profit-per-head from Steam commissions is out there, and at $3.5 million per employee it makes Apple and Facebook look like a lemonade stand (www.pcgamer.com)

They really figured out the infinite money glitch.

They've been nothing but fair to me as a customer but the cynic in me thinks they've got an excessive amount of good will to squander since they dominate the PC gaming scene.

Please don't become shitty. And please release new non competitive games.

I also use Steam, but they were one of the OGs at taking a 30% cut from digital software sales. Apple always gets shit for this, but not Valve.

30% was undercutting the market when Steam did it. Y'all always forget that too
