I decided to do some math on the profits earned by selling games on either Steam or Origin

I did this same thing in Battle Log as one of my random tangents

I shall take a $60 game and calculate the sales if it is sold on Steam or Origin

Steam users: 75,000,000
EA Origin users: 50,000,000

Steam (takes a minimum of 30% of sales money)

75,000,000*60=4,500,000,000
.30*4,500,000,000=1,350,000,000
4,500,000,000-1,350,000,000=3,150,000,000

Origin (EA owned so no sales money revoked)

50,000,000*60=3,000,000,000

I don't see why a loss of just over a billion is too much. Then again, this is EA

Sorry, I tend to ramble when I get ideas like this.
