MODERATORS
As I mentioned in another thread, if their running costs were close to the revenues they make then their owner wouldn't be a multiple yachts owning billionaire.
Their cut is a %, which means that as games become more expensive they make more money. But their running costs actually go down as they improve their tech and code.
An internal memo was made public and they make more revenue per employee than Microsoft.
We're overpaying for games but people just got used to it.
