I don't know if I agree with this. Not that you're wrong but I don't think it's the full picture.

15 years ago games were still largely physical. That $60 included the physical games, cases, manuals, distribution, warehousing, etc. These days everything being digital companies don't have to pay that anymore. Sure there's a commission you have to pay on Steam/EGS but I highly doubt it's close to what having a physical distribution method cost.

So the way the $60 pie is split up today is totally different, and I imagine a much, much larger portion of that goes to the developers.
