This is another problem I have with Tim Sweeney. He's firing off so much information and dubious claims constantly that it becomes hard for two people to see the same info. Seriously, look at his Twitter feed. How many are unfounded claims ending with, "Maybe Valve can chime in?"

You are conflating profit with revenue, and you know it. Valve also makes less than 30% profit. Come on, mate.

Yes, we estimate average costs of sales at 5-7% in developed markets, based on our experience processing Fortnite payments. 30%-7% = 22% for Valve. 30% profit margin on 70% revenue share = 21% for the example developer.

Not Correact. Valves pays revenue share to the payment method owners, for example, for each transaction. And they pay that from their own revenue share.

Exactly. A 30% revenue share is not the profit they make, just like the 70% revenue share a publisher makes it the profit they make. Also note that the profit from the publisher, not matter the rev share, goes to the publisher first.
