PlayStation and Xbox subsidize the cost of the console.
Apple and Google have been having their 30% fees (and the monopolies that allow them) struck down by courts and competition regulators around the world.
Valve is subsidizing their services that they provide to gamers.
They have 15% since 2020 or so. As far as I understood, Apple got sued, then changed the cut% and Google followed shortly after to avoid getting sued. Once app earns more than $1 million, it gets 30% cut again.
Lmfao. No they are not.
They are the most profitable company tech company per employee, of any tech company. That's profit, as in revenue - expenses.
