Steam Revenue Thresholds and Valve's Chocolate Tier
With gross revenue climbing past $1 million, Sir, We Have an Orc Problem has comfortably surpassed the estimated $800,000 annual threshold used by Valve to send out annual boxes of chocolate to qualifying Steam developers as a gesture of recognition.
While additional cuts from Valve's platform fees still apply to the lump sum, the studio's earnings have placed the title firmly into the algorithmic revenue tier on Steam, which typically sustains steady long-term sales after the initial launch window concludes.
