Anyways, seeing as how Valve is private company, nobody knows the exact numbers, but considering how large the service has become with both big and small devs i'd say its pretty reasonable. So if you have the money, don't buy an Indie game like RO on sale, support the devs! |
That was a little uncalled for and rude might I add. I do own TF2 and have hats, including the Tripwire ones. However, you are right, I do not play TF2 because the game has lost focus and is nothing but a money making machine for valve with items. In fact, I think the game would do just fine with the name "Hat Fortress 2". There is also a typo in my last comment, one that I did not notice. I meant to say that devs usually make less off Steam as Valve takes a larger piece of the pie. I am not going to sit here and tell you what to do, but I just posted a link to make people on this website save and open doors to those who do not have a large disposable income.
Also, in case you wanted to know. If the game is 10$ cheaper elsewhere and not on Steam, its highly likely (not always though) that the website selling the game is taking the monetary loss unless its a dev/distributor promotion, rather than the developers to attract customers and whatnot. I hope you did buy the game, and also hope you enjoy the beta as much as I do.
For the rest of you fellow inmates, the deal is still up and enjoy! Thanks.
