You're forgetting exposure and huge player base. That's got to add some revenue...

Not so much for the games that are hitting those revenue levels, as they already have mind share far greater than you get from being on Steam.

It's a game changer for smaller and unknown developers to be findable on the steam store. Once you're a battlefield/witcher/fallout etc, you just don't need it.

Exposure is key, I know I don't buy games that aren't on Steam. So many games I wouldn't know about at all if they weren't on steams recommendations page.
