When you spend $1000 on a PC how much goes to a game developer?

I know console games have platform royalties but they are nowhere near the sometimes 50% price difference between PC versions. There's a reason why Rockstar released GTA 18 months later, Rocksteady contracted out Arkham Knight, and Ubisoft in general don't go to a great effort to get their PC games optimised.

There's LESS money to be made on PC, despite strong sales.

This is not a dig at PC gaming (I have one myself) and PC gamers, just an observation.
