      “See developers? It’s perfectly normal for a company that had nothing to do with creating your game make more profit from it than you while you bear all the costs. It’s the industry standard!!!”https://twitter.com/IGN/status/1181298434587975680 …

      Speaking with games industry sources, we break down how much major retailers take from the sale of a game, and find Steam’s 30% revenue cut is actually the industry standard. http://bit.ly/2MpdweD  pic.twitter.com/2RXwBGKawR

      Aside from the main stupidity here, of my pet peeve with how those breakdown articles shape perception is that they all ignore the fact that in most regions VAT is also taken out. On Steam the average income for a $10 game is more $6 than $7.

      It’s a shame as this was a lost opportunity for great investigative journalism. What about the non-public revenue sharing terms negotiated between major publishers and stores and key sellers? How much better do they do than the advertised 70% revenue share?

      What are the costs of stores like a Steam, Google Play, and the App Store based on advertised payment processing and CDN rates? How much of their 30% is pure profit? What about added fees that push their revenue shares below the claimed 70%? Nope, it’s all superficial malarkey.

          You would have so much less hate if you had developed a featured platform before aggressively buying exclusives. You ushered people into a ramshackle experience and now dismiss them for being rightfully annoyed about having platform choice taken from them. Have some perspective.

          The man has completely lost it. His tweets reminds me of what you'd see on trumps timeline. Bizarre and disturbing.

          I mean, wouldn't a better headline for that article have been "30% is the industry standard for game stores, but it doesn't have to be."? Nah...
