> They were able to stop paying a third employee when they went to Steam. That's a lot of value to the business.

They were able to stop paying? Doesn't that mean they make less money?



Revenue is fairly useless it’s profit that you care about. Having less employees also means less effort managing them.


Ah I see.


They also made more money, even with Steam's cut.

People are expensive. (Hence the whole "oncoming economic doom" thing.)
