Commissar SFLUFAN Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 From PC Gamer: Currently, revenue for Steam games is split 70/30 between the developer and Valve. But from now on, Valve will only take a 25% cut of any earnings over and above $10 million, and only 20% of earnings beyond $50 million. The first $10 million will still be split 70/30, and the change will impact any revenue earned after October 1 this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valve sees the writing on the wall with titles like Fallout 76, Black Ops IIII, and Destiny 2 not launching on Steam without any significant downside to the PC market performance of those games (and they already lost EA years ago) so they're well aware that they had to do something to incentivize their continued presence.

XxEvil AshxX Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Not to be defending Valve or big budget publishers, but it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel Valve abandoning game development for the most part was pretty shortsighted. We should have been had Half Life 3, LFD3, a new Day of Defeat, etc. I doubt this will stop the major publishers from leaving. I imagine the costs associated with running your own store is going to continue to decline. If you are a major pub why bother sharing your money with Valve.

Brian Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 It’s a short term strategy that will fail. All big publishers are moving to the streaming, Game Pass model. Valve’s empire is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
