It wouldn't be anywhere close to 5 billion, at $15 each they would have to have sold 333 million copies. Even to make 1 billion they would need to have sold 66 million copies, which is twice what minecraft sold on PC. The selling of the game has probably only been a small percentage in comparison to the rest of the games earnings.
@@MegaKmonValve earned $6.7 billion from CS:GO sales, which is a record for games sold on Steam. This information was shared by the analytical service Gamalytic.

But calling that update new content is also a stretch, appart from the stickerplacement. The case was community made and they readded 1/4 of the modes removed from csgo
@@TheFelixpax Alright.. Maybe they could fix it with points system that allows teams a major spot, if they have won enough tournaments.. So no qualifiers etc.

8:09 the prize pool is low because most of the money teams recieve comes from stickers money. Each team made around 4-5M$ in sticker money with the Paris Major Alone and that's not counting autograph and other incentives. Dota 2 dosen't have this extra stream of revenue so that's why the prize pool is higher to compensate the sticker sales Also I don't think they don't want to up the money higher than tourneys like Kato and Cologne because it would dilude their prestige. I'm not saying I agree with it just how I think the thought process is behind it. Maybe things will change once the circuit reopens in 2025
A 25 % stake in Manchester Utd was just recently sold for around 1.25 billion $. So Id say the total value is above what you quoted and thus in line with what you thought before. Luv the videos, cheers from al Utd-supporter
Really crazy on the Major prize pool money, considering D2 max players is 863k, when GO's max players was 1.8 MIL..... Literally over double the amount. As of typing this up, CS2's daily today was 1.23 million, and D2's for the day was 603k. Kind of wild now that it's brought up. I don't personally follow or play Dota so I didn't know about their prize pool, and it's kinda blowing my mind a bit.
Viewrships falling for cs2( am glad tbh) pgl have had 150k? Laughable numbers when it comes to cs. Maybe if all donators gonna pull out bcuz of non existant anticheat and rampant cheating, valve will be forced to do bare minimum about it till then they busy counting money
Cool calculations. It would be more accurate if you count all Valve's expenses as well. I don't know if that's even possible. Like server costs, paychecks, marketing, tournament costs, etc.
A neat video idea would be to see how much in value vac banned accounts have in total, maybe more specific just like high value items "knives/ d lore/ stickers and so on. At least for public accounts
As far as I learned from my research; Valve's internal project management and working system are entirely unique. Instead of dividing employees into departments, the entire team comes together and works on only one topic for specific periods. For example, in the first quarter of 2024, all Valve employees are working only on Dota 2, and in the following quarter, they focus solely on CS 2. Consequently, CS 2 isn't updated frequently. Other titles follow a similar pattern. No other company seems to do this. Typically, if a company offers products in multiple titles, there would be a department for each title, and the employees in that department would work solely on that title. Valve doesn't operate with this system.
we must put into consideration valve's expenses into that matter like tax, maintenance and salary, but it might stil be pocket change considering how much they make
shit is so sad cuz this game genuinely go be so much better than what it is :( and this coming from an og csgo player. sadly too young for the old counter strikes but damn i still love this damn game.
tôi đang lướt yt thì gặp vid của bạn và tôi thấy hay vì chất giọng của bạn :))) xin lỗi nếu làm bạn cảm thấy xúc phạm nhưng chất giọng của bạn rất hay + theo dõi
not saying you're wrong but you have to take into account all the fucking maintenance costs of keeping steam up and running, which probably eats into a lot of profits. (along with other business expenditures)
do you? do you also find it hard to believe that the top 1 million players in this game cheat? do you also find it hard to believe that there are casual lobbies FULL of afk bots for xp farming? do you find it hard to believe that there are thousands upon thousands of external counter strike markets with thousands if not millions of skins each? Don't you ever wonder why when a new case is released there are automatically thousands of every skin availiable on the market? and thats just the market, now imagine all the people that dont sell. Wake up, valve is a scummy company, they dot care about you, they dont care about any of us, they just want your money and they have millions of gambling addicts to support them.
I think in the Tec Industry there are alot of things that can‘t be solved with money atm. Oc you can pay hundreds of thousands for good Coders, Workers etc but if there are none who can figure that shit out? Creating a whole new AC (with AI) on a new Code like CS2 is, yo oc there is noone who you can pay millions and he has it done in 3 days… It‘s a fucking Industry like every other and things need time to develope and work proper. The game is playable atm and we get new stuff sooner than later. So give it some time and don‘t jump on the Loba-Depressed-About-Life-Train. Thank you ❤
Thanks to Anomaly and players like him with gambling addiction contributing to Valve’s pocket. Instead of opening cases, players should focus more on writing tickets about issues in game.
I dont know if anyone commented or mentioned, i just watched the video and realised anomaly forgot to count the cs games price as a series and totál sales
All makes sense, a quick read online puts Valve's enterprise value at around $10B, the net worth of Gabe Newell at over $4B alone, and there are rumors of Microsoft offering to purchase Valve for like $16B. Hey Valve, why do we still have only two hostage maps and tons of hackers????
Prize pool is actually low. It was fine years ago, but CS player base has grown so massively & they make so much money it can honestly have the biggest esports price pool if it wanted to
The prizepools are probably this low, as I imagine S tier esport orgs take a hefty cut from the winnings. So maybe the sticker sales are contractually better for players (more money directly to players)
good concepts but someone should redo this including souvenirs because they cant be traded up they had to of been unboxed and any of the lowest tiers on cases because you cant trade up to a low tier in a collection for example of you have a mil-spec from a collection thats lowest tier is mil-spec you cant have traded up to it because it has no lower items to give you a chance at that mil-spec do this consumer grades and that adds a lot to the number, idk just my 2 cents would be a lot of work but would be very interesting EDIT: Nevermind for low tier items forgot that gun drops exist.
The numbers don't surprise me that much because we all know how much addictive people are to lootboxes and virtual pixels. That's where the gaming industry is circling around.
They make a lot of money, yet we still don't have an anticheat that is effective as valorant have, and we are still playing in the old 64 tick servers from CS:GO :D
Well said! They should do more, not just taking. First of all, they should pay more attention to catching cheaters. So the cheaters will keep buying new accounts. So more money for them. 😅
id rather have a good ecosystem where all the teams that attend the major can get a cut from stickers instead of letting the winner take home majority of the win.
2 days ago I got put in a team with a 4-man-squad & they all had bunnyhop script & aimbot. I reported them, shot 2 of them dead & when I got my 30-min ban I also lost my XP-overload. Apparently the punishment for griefing hackers is worse than hacking. In a game that makes 2mio a day...
I like the vid, still the fact that “bothers“ me is that you didn’t account for the fact that the cases are also costing them money since they pay out to the creators of the skin.. it probably still won’t really be justifiable tho…
So much money and they still can't give 128 tick servers or make a good game without replacing a beloved game for an unfinished trash with missing features
Crazy pocketwatching 💀💀💀

i like butter
7 days ago wth

@Anomaly what happened to that 5000 case opening stream?
Do you remember that CS wasn’t free for like 8 years? All the money for the actual copy of the game has to amount to 5 bill…
And people buying prime status also.
Also all market transaction taxes probably contribute more than cases.
It wouldn't be anywhere close to 5 billion, at $15 each they would have to have sold 333 million copies. Even to make 1 billion they would need to have sold 66 million copies, which is twice what minecraft sold on PC.

about 0.35% of your mothers weight aka 14 tons😂
HOW MUCH IS HE BEING PAID BY OMNIA MEDIA???
And the game still has no anti cheat tool. Good job valve
Lol
in reallity there is nothing called a proper anticheat. Even valorant has many hackers who go undetected
skill issue
@@shintyxd788 but in my elo (22k elo premier) every second game you play against spin hacker x) good game Kappa
Yeah, I'd say about 80% of my games lately have been blatant cheaters, sad state of the game atm.
Good video Ludwig. I agree with Major winnings. It should be 10x as high, it would make it insane.

Valve and Gaben love Dota 2. Gaben appeared in the International at least once as far as I remember, but he was never in the CS Majors.
Who cares? Idgaf if he is a cs fan, i just want them to spend like 5% of their profit on actually working on the game - they are clearly under-staffed

it will never change, sadly

Closest thing that anomaly has done compared to filing taxes
You know game devs are good when they get billions of dollars and you still have spinbots in CS2
