Does Steam take 30% of sales?
Steam's Revenue Share Model
Steam takes a 30% cut from the revenue generated by game sales on its platform. This means that out of every dollar earned by developers on their games, Steam keeps 30 cents, while the remaining 70 cents goes directly to the developers' pockets.
Do developers lose money from Steam refunds?
If Steam isn't able to return the money through the original payment method, the refund will be added to the customer's Steam Wallet. In those cases, Steam retains that 20-30%, even if the player doesn't use that wallet currency to purchase another game. The developer, on the hand, directly loses a sale.
Who decides what goes on sale on Steam?
Steam sets the sales periods and developers can decide if they want to put their game on sale during that period. otherwise devs can simply put their game on sale when they chose to. there are some limitations as to how often the game is put on sale, when it is put on sale, and how much of a discount is applied.
How do Steam sales affect developers?
Games sell many more copies during Steam sales. Most of a developer's income comes from these events. Per copy, the developer makes much less during a sale than at non-sale periods.
