- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 1 week ago:
The comparison to Epic (with a massively lower sales volume) is a bad one, because Valve’s sales volume is so much higher. Once you have a store up and running, the marginal cost of additional units sold in software is extremely low, so most sales are close to 30% of pure profit for Valve.
The entire Apple App Store costs $100 million a year to run, with revenue recently hitting $1.4 trillion, an infrastructure to revenue ratio of a fraction of a percent. That makes their 30% vig even more unconscionable than Valve’s obscene rake.

Stop defending billionaires, the infrastructure costs are a small fraction of the fees they charge

Anyone who thinks a currency-issuing country like the US would be better off by taking $3 trillion OUT OF CIRCULATION, thereby making the American public $3 trillion POORER clearly shows that they understand NOTHING about how economies work.

Matt Stoller had a nice writeup recently in his monopoly newsletter BIG about how we got into the current mess. TL;DR: basically financialization (prioritizing stock price over innovation, like at Boeing) and a lack of antitrust enforcement as a previously competitive market got monopolized (see chart below)
