A Smaller Steam Cut Would Have Earned Garry’s Mod Developer Facepunch Studios “over $50m more”
From GameWatcher: "Facepunch Studios, the developer of Garry's Mod and Rust, "would have made over $50,000,000 more" if Valve took a smaller cut from games available on Steam, developer Garry Newman revealed.
The sum above applies in the case of a smaller Steam cut of only 10%. Currently, Valve takes a 30% cut from most games on its store. Since November of last year, the cut actually decreases to 25% for sales between $10m and $50m, and to 20% if sales exceed $50 million, although both Garry's Mod and Rust were on the platform before these changes were applied."
