Well 19m players x $29 is $551,000,000 banked so far.

They could pocket a few dozen million and still run the servers for around 85 years.

Don't forget the cutshare

29 = (8.7 to Valve) (20.3 Pocket)

7m are on Xbox, so the count is:

Pocket = 243.6 m (on 12m copies sold)

Valve = 104.4 m ( on 12m copies sold)

Valve reduces their cut to 20% after the first $50M in sales

The article mentions all that, but it seems that no one has read it.

Because it's much more interesting to learn the important content or what people think is contained in an article by heated discussions than reading it.
