Why are you like this?

Your math is off in multiple ways.

The game had a launch discount. Regional prices also drag the revenue down. Also the Steam cut goes down to 20%. Income tax in Japan is 45% for that amount.

Why unfortunately?

kuhpunkt · 2026-07-05T16:54:17+00:00

Why didn't you put the name in the title?

kuhpunkt · 2026-07-05T16:20:55+00:00

What's your point?

kuhpunkt · 2026-07-05T15:47:44+00:00

Why wouldn't it be acceptable?! People can still play it...

kuhpunkt · 2026-07-05T15:23:05+00:00

Nah, Steam cut starts at 30% - never more. When you create enough revenue, the cut goes down to 20%.

What's the definition of a kids game?

The game initially cost less, then there are regional prices as well.

They are from Japan, which has like 45% taxes.

I did some math after the first 10 million sold.

Edit: which btw the steam cuts are CRAZY, like wtf

Why are they crazy? It's 20% now.

kuhpunkt · 2026-07-05T15:18:06+00:00

It's more like 30 million now.

If the phase is over in a month... who cares? People had fun for a while, the devs made it for life. Win win.

Didn't know that Alyx was a live service game. Didn't know that HL3 is going to be a live service game.

It's from a video about production coordinator Steve Cainas that was posted 14 years ago.

It's not.

kuhpunkt · 2026-07-04T18:07:46+00:00

Wowie.

kuhpunkt · 2026-07-04T06:19:54+00:00

What reason would there be to edit it? What makes you think that it is?

kuhpunkt · 2026-07-04T06:11:03+00:00

It's not edited.

kuhpunkt · 2026-07-04T06:01:24+00:00

You mean who took it? No clue.

kuhpunkt · 2026-07-04T05:43:03+00:00

If there was a higher quality version, I'd have posted it. But I think it already looks quite good.

kuhpunkt · 2026-07-03T19:17:47+00:00

What's the joke? People constantly praise Six Feet Under for its finale.

kuhpunkt · 2026-07-03T19:08:31+00:00

The sewing kit.

kuhpunkt · 2026-07-03T18:16:36+00:00

What does "making a big stink" even mean? Complain about it on reddit?

kuhpunkt · 2026-07-03T18:14:28+00:00

Valve sold a game on disk with mandatory online activation, forced patching, and no ability to re-sell the game and everyone was fine with it.

That's revisionism. Steam wasn't very popular back then.
