I buy the majority of my games from other sites like GMG now unless it's during a Steam sale because they usually have better discounts.

Yeah, I just buy the expensive Triple AAA titles from there because it feels safer if needing a return.

Yes, they're laughing hysterically at the fact they've only netted 10% of Steam's 2015 game only revenue since the PS4 launched.....

It's not the same. The install base for PC games is exponentially higher than a console audience. You don't have a standard machine and games like a $20 wood cutting simulator are on there.

Quality control and testing goes a long way. But if we are talking pure profits, then obviously steam's insane install base on all types of different hardware are going to put them over the top.

I wonder if this number includes CSGO cases, they make a shite ton of money on those things. I see streamers buy a lot of them because viewers like watching them being opened.

It doesn't.

No DLC or In-Game items are included.
