A couple of possible reasons. Firstly, they're a privately owned company, so unlike Plcs and corporations like Sony, Microsoft, Activision, Nintendo etc. they have no need to release sales or revenue figures. Secondly, if their digital distribution method is successful, they don't neccessarily want everyone to know. If they start announcing huge sales figures and revenue then physical retailers may refuse to stock their games. In fact, physical retailers have already threatened stop stocking games that require Steam. The other issue is that it basically says to larger companies in the industry "digital distribution is a money maker!" and they may form their own systems and increase direct competition to Steam. |
LOL I think it's kind of an open secret already.
I still think the actual number is quite close to what they have disclosed. Probably 1 or 2 billion off the mark.
If they had made mega bucks, They would be somewhat exposed by now.
