It’s a fifth of what MS just paid for Activision. I would’ve thought you’d be way better off owning a whole platform than a bunch of franchises like Call of Duty.

Either the rumor is dumb, or Steam is a much smaller money-printer than I thought (which I can’t rule out — I’ve heard they rarely take anywhere close to a 30% cut for popular enough games).

Gabe Newell (literally) owns six yachts and the most scientifically advanced submarine in the world.

I think Steam is doing at least ok financially.

MS thinks they might have a strategy to take over Nintendo at some point in the long-term future.

Something tells me that MS bowing out of the console market and putting Game Pass on the Switch 3 is more likely than that.
