Profit margin % means share of revenue you get to keep after all the expenses

Example: Say a game sold for 100€, revenue of valve is 30€, valve expenses on that sale is 18€, so actual profit is 12€.

Data of private companies isn't required to published regularly but same as in the article, it can be voluntarily shared by the company.

Calling it fabricated implies accounting fraud, which is serious legal offense (equivalent of accusing a person of murder). So, being skeptical of the numbers is a good investor mindset but throwing baseless accusations is punishable offense in itself

Let's be civil, people

    I think they're saying you came up with that 40% number yourself. Did steam ever reveal that info?
