But how could Valve have made $6.5b off of their own games? They haven't released anything in yonks have they?! Plus EA have the gacha-fication of FIFA/every other sports game franchise they own with Ultimate Team, etc.
Battle passes, lootboxes, keys and whatnot.
Are you being facetious? Dota and Counter Strike make a ton of money.
Those two are surely pretty valuable. But I doubt they are, on their own, billions of dollars a year valuable.
ActiBlizion are on there, so sounds about right.
