> ~70% of the revenue from steam games goes to the developers

So, when Black Ops II made a billion dollars (http://www.ign.com/videos/2012/12/05/news-black-ops-2-grosse...), steam made ~430 million? That's huge!

IIRC, Valve negotiates a different cut with each developer, and requires them to keep their terms secret. I would not be surprised if Activision ended with more favorable terms than your average indie studio.

No, as the vast majority of Black Ops 2 copies sold will have been the console version.

Most of those sales would be on the PS3 or Xbox 360 where Valve won't take a cut.
