Interesting to see Valve at 6.5 bn, I would have guessed they were higher given the extent of Steam as a distribution platform. But I guess that makes sense some other companies have a myriad of other digital and physical products, where Valve has only their small slice in both (Half Life, Counter Strike, L4D, Ricochet for digital, and Steam Deck, Index, some merchandise for physical)
It probably is higher. Much higher.
My understanding is that, because they’re a private company, all we can do is vaguely guess
It’s interesting to me that Amazon isn’t on this list. AWS is massive, it’s the biggest cloud provider in the world and Luna still exists.
Why is Microsoft, of all groups, monitoring Valve’s profits? That seems kinda weird to me, as though it’s overstepping some sort of boundary.
Myriad reasons. Guarantee Apple, Google, Sony, Tencent, and others on that list maintain a similar list.
I didn’t expect the Lemmy privacy mindset to go so far; competitor analysis is a thing in business, and when you aggregate such data you can also analyse industry trends and your business’s position in it. I don’t see why it’s a boundary?

Xbox
Most of those profits from Ricochet, obviously.
How is Sony’s profit that much bigger than Nintendo? Basically everyone and their grandmother has at least 1 switch + games. Genuinely curious.
This is nowhere near accurate. Valve is a literal money printing machine.
