So, I've been quite curious about what sort of money Valve is making from their store -- this is the first real info I've found:
kotaku.com/5669981/making-team-fortress-2-hats-turns-out-to-be-very-profitable
That's (up to) $47,000 per person. Let's say $200,000 divided between the 5 authors. Also let's assume a 50/50 split between Valve and the authors, which means Valve is up $200,000 from those items alone.
And that's before we get into the 100% profit from keys. Not bad for a 3 year old game.
