Has to be. There’s no way the owners of the biggest storefront for pc gaming makes as much as EA.

What non-gaming revenue do both EA and Valve have? Do you think that EA makes surprisingly much or Valve surprisingly little?

I think they’re trying to say that if it was total revenue, valve should have way bigger numbers

According to Wikipedia, Steam made over 3 billion in 2017, but they also earn from microtransactions primarily in Dota 2 and CS:GO, which continue to be some of the most played games on Steam.

If their gaming revenue is 6.5 their total revenue is about 6.5 no?

Being a marketplace for other people’s games would probably be classified as a different type of income, specially if steam sells software that’s not games (which it does).
