The really impressive thing about Valve is the amount of revenue they make with a relatively small head count. They have about 1/10 the number of employees as EA.
Cs:go, dota 2, artifact and underlords i think.
I guess this is estimated revenue through game sales, otherwise i’d think activision-blizzard(candy crush) and valve(steam cut, dota and cs micro transactions, steam market) would be higher.
And of course MS has an interest to undervalue some companies compared to sony and nintendo
Seems about right. They don’t have a complete monopoly and the industry seems to be making most of their money off micro-transactions these days instead of sales, something valve takes no cut of outside there own games. Meanwhile apple and google do have monopolies and take a cut of micro-transactions which accounts for there significantly larger revenue.
I assume that’s gaming revenue not total?
Apple’s total revenue was almost $400B in 2022. I think App Store revenue was $36B. So this must be just games.
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
But how could Valve have made $6.5b off of their own games? They haven’t released anything in yonks have they?! Plus EA have the gacha-fication of FIFA/every other sports game franchise they own with Ultimate Team, etc.
But Google that high? I wouldn’t have expected as high considering Apple (another one who takes a cut of mobile gaming) isn’t.
I have to imagine Valve has a war chest they can use, if they wanted, to do some acquisitions.
