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.
What was the last game they made prior to Half-Life Alyx? Portal 2?
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
Nah it was that shitty dota card game.
It might be. It’s hard to know since Valve isn’t a public company, so it’s all estimations and guesses.
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.
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.
Battle passes, lootboxes, keys and whatnot.
Are you being facetious? Dota and Counter Strike make a ton of money.
Those two are surely pretty valuable. But I doubt they are, on their own, billions of dollars a year valuable.
ActiBlizion are on there, so sounds about right.
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.
