how many tours of two cities are there? at 99 cents per ticket with 4 tickets per tour, you can quickly add up how much mvm makes even from just the top 100 players in terms of tours completed.
And mecha engine. And Gear Grinder. And Oil Spill. And Steel Trap. Two cities has the most players, but the big spenders are the mecha engine and gear grinder players ^^. You are probably safe with the assumption that about 2.5 x the amount of two cities tours are completed in all other tours combined. SO ALOT of tickets. Sadly its impossible to track down how many mvm tours were completed, unless you also assume a certain australium drop chance and then check how many australiums exist. Dont think theres an exact percentage of that tho. In addition to the already crazy ticket sale number, two cities has the habbit of SHITTING your inventory full of items that dont really sell anywhere aside from the community market. Where steam also takes 10% cut. So all those fabricators and killstreak kits and robo parts add even more revenue for valve.
That part when you were talking about the 2011 naughty crates... Gotta admit, it kinda bums me out that a virtual set of christmas lights has made more money in 9 years than all the labour I will ever perform throughout my entire life will earn me.
Very interesting video! When I buy keys to unbox (I only unbox cases and I also make sure to tip map makers when buying from the mann co store) I like to think I'm funding the work of talented people from our community who have dedicated time and effort to submit amazing items (be it cosmetics or maps) through the workshop. I know only a small fraction of the profits is given by Valve to these people, but it is better than nothing. That's my rationale for still opening some cases from time to time.
I like the rationale, but I am planning on expounding on this with an upcoming video on how unfair cases are to creators. Originally, a creator would get 20% of a sale directly on the Mann Co. Store. If something is $5, they get $1 per sale. And if 50,000 players buy it, that's $50k right there. But now it's 20% of a key profit split across 7-10 different creators, so really they make like 2% off of each 2.50 key sale. It sucks.
The only place I buy keys is off marketplace.tf because they are undercut probably by 50 cents compared to the community market which is still lower than actually buying it from steam itself
Holy crap this must have taken a long time to make. I met you in that frontier match so I decided to check in on your channel. This was an interesting and well done video.
Btw I hope this video takes off and gets a ton of attention but if I could make one critique is that the thumbnail is not really good or attractive and should be changed to some SFM thumbnail. Sorry but I think that's what reels in viewers.
thousands of keys are bought in steam community market in just 24 hours. they make thousands per day also cause of mann co store and other community items and people who still buy orange box
Glad to see you back. TBH, if you did more of your monologues with background footage (drawing, whatever) I'll always click. I appreciate the positivity you try to distribute.
Cosmic... All you needed was a headphone with mic on and paint the head white any you would have had a Universal Translator, no unboxing required. Not sure if you could trade it tho
11:04, I think you'd also wanna censor the part in your search history where it says "Shop our high quality hand-made fantasy sex toys and dildos | Bad Dragon." Just a thought Cosmic.
Valve has long since moved on from TF2. The whole reason they release crates at all is to get them dollar bills. If it weren't for the cash the game makes, they'd drop support.
No, you can look in the Steam FAQ about taxing. To my knowledge, it's not changed from the numbers stated in the vid. That being said, I made it clear that bumping the numbers like I did was to provide absolutely no doubt that even when the numbers are MORE in the players favor, the amount of crates it would require to reach it is still insane. Furthermore, I go later and adjust the numbers to the flat amounts to give more perspective. I'm confident you didn't watch the whole video- and if you did, you might not have been paying attention then.
@@CosmicAfro in your opinion whats the ballpark for what the game made? if it isnt atleast like 200 million, tf2 has been a failure imo (considering 7+ years of continuous development cycles post launch)
I knew it wouldn't be a too popular video tbh. Also my channel is quite dead given I didn't upload regularily for such a long time. But hey, if I can do it once, I will do it again.
@@Ronnanben Don't worry about it! I said "You wish" in jest, not in mean spirits! I'm working a lot, and been taking some time off from this to focus on other passions. I have a few videos that are half-way done, but nothing yet I feel comfortable uploading.
@@Flpstrike You know what? since you noticed my comment i'll just respond it here. TF2 has a big update planned since 2018. the problem is, cause valve is making half life : alyx, most of the tf2 team (im pretty sure its not only the tf2 team) had to put the game on temporary hold so they could make Half Life : Alyx

62 millions a year, a mont, ever since ?

Over the past 10 years I think (which is about 6 million a year)

Very informative. Great video, Space Dad!
here is a quick answer: valve is rich and you ain't.
done.

Good to know this channel is still going. I haven't kept up but I hope you're doing well.

Don't open boxes
And soon, delete all the boxes
I usually just delete boxes as soon as I get them.
lol, still percistent after getting the golden pan

I love this editing
You also forgot they had a few passes. For the volcano and I think a second one. Those were $5 or $10 each.
Definitely tuxtle
8 boll you are objectively wrong.
can't stop won't stop once valve is in action there is no way to stop the money loop
I too would like to get 62 MILLION while doing absolutly nothing
Very informative!

HAH! HAHAHAHA! I wish I had noticed that since I did incidentally cut out something else. Whatever, we'll leave that in. Whoops.

Does the number include the other kinds of keys or just the regular ones? What about the keyless crates B)
obligatory comment to help good content preform better in algorithm
Valve has long since moved on from TF2. The whole reason they release crates at all is to get them dollar bills. If it weren't for the cash the game makes, they'd drop support.
no? they have just been preoccupied with half like alyx's development. They were working on an update before that for a year (since 2018)
You deserve much more views
almost forgot you existed man geez
unusual
strange
strange unusual
bro you forgot normal with warpaint
unless I'm just dense and warpaint makes them strange or unusual or something
What happend to the Deep Philosophy video?
I wouldn't be surprised if tf2 made over a billion for valve.
Isn't it a 15% tax on the market? also low balling the odds of unboxing unusual is stupid with such a large sample size
No, you can look in the Steam FAQ about taxing. To my knowledge, it's not changed from the numbers stated in the vid.
That being said, I made it clear that bumping the numbers like I did was to provide absolutely no doubt that even when the numbers are MORE in the players favor, the amount of crates it would require to reach it is still insane.

@@CosmicAfro 10% to TF2 + 5% flat fee to steam? Isn't that how is works? I did notice that at the end, probably should have updated the comment
And valve owns steam right so it's 15%
here is a comment for all the pain you went through to make this.
We Are funding water for potted plant and snacks for part time worker.

where is his afro?
You're inside of it. It is space, and you are in space, which is why you cannot see my hair.
@@CosmicAfro Dude...
62 million over the lifetime of the game seems like a super low number lool
As stated in the video, this is the likely lowest possible estimate that cannot account for a lot of unknown variables.
@@CosmicAfro in your opinion whats the ballpark for what the game made? if it isnt atleast like 200 million, tf2 has been a failure imo (considering 7+ years of continuous development cycles post launch)
Nice vid
I played mvm with you
Valve is a multiple billion dollar company so they dont gain that much from unboxing.
dissapointed, no afro

Honest it's not really that much doe. Valve prob makes 1000x that just from steam
