How much money does Valve make from a game?
The simple answer to this question is: Valve takes around 30% of every sale made on Steam.
How Steam Pricing works:
When you launch a game on Steam, the game is assigned an 80% Revenue Split and a 30% Fee. The game, itself, receives the largest percentage of the profits after sale. Here is an illustration of the fee structyre:
| Steam Distributes | Developer Pocket Share | Fee Applied | **Revenue Remaining |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80% < *Developer Revenue> .8 0 < Revenue Remainner | |||
| 30% .3 (**Original Price – Fees Payed) | |||
| __Total Revenue | Revenue Balance | Developer Price *.7 ** _- Fees 15%) | |
| – Fees applied after | Revenue remaining – _0% Fee after _Fees | ||
| (original-price.7) % – Fees | |||
| 30%. Revenue 6 |
