Steam uses a tiered revenue sharing model that reduces the platform's cut as a game earns more:

• First $10 million: 30% to Steam, 70% to developer
• $10M to $50M: 25% to Steam, 75% to developer
• Above $50M: 20% to Steam, 80% to developer

For Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition, with an estimated gross revenue of $19,183,560, this results in an effective rate of 27.6%. Steam keeps approximately $5,295,890 and Larian Studios receives $13,887,670.

These estimates use the Boxleiter method, a widely-used industry approach that estimates game sales from the number of Steam reviews.

Factors that affect accuracy:

• Review-to-purchase ratio varies by genre
• Discount history - games with frequent deep sales may have higher ratios
• Regional pricing - different prices in different markets are not captured
• Refunds - Steam's return policy means some counted sales were refunded
• Bundled sales - keys sold through third-party bundles may not generate reviews

We provide a confidence range ($11,626,400 to $34,879,200) to reflect this uncertainty. For the best estimate we combine the Boxleiter range with a calibrated midpoint (x33) and a calibrated ASP of $20.

If Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition generated the same gross revenue on the Epic Games Store, Larian Studios would keep approximately $17,001,533 - that's $3,113,863 more than on Steam.

At this revenue level, Epic's concrete platform fee would be $2,182,027. Epic charges 0% on the first $1 million in annual per-app revenue and then 12% on the remaining amount. On GOG (30% cut), the developer would earn approximately $13,428,492.

Note: This is a hypothetical comparison. Actual sales volumes differ significantly between platforms, and Steam's larger user base typically drives substantially higher sales.
