Ah, thank you for correcting that.

Valve's profit is probably a function of the current prize pool, right? So it seems like they should have made at least 2x above what they're offering. Since the pool increased by $1.76M, it seems likely they've made at least $3.5M. But I'm just speculating based on intuition. If you have hard details, please post 'em!

I'm pretty sure all of the purchases result in the same 75-25 split so that part of the math isn't wrong. It's just that fewer total people have donated that amount.
