It's called paying your steamstore tax. At least unlike in real life, those taxes don't go towards free healthcare for Isreal.

Big talk from a guy who has clearly never published anything on Steam.

Oh, how kind of him to not charge anything when there's been no cost to him.

You act like this is some amazing and unheard of benevolent thing. This will blow your mind, the way it works for a regular store is they PAY the supplier for the stock, not charge the suppliers a fee for the privilege of being in their store.

Gabe Newell is an awful scammer.

Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.

This is why the Norman Bates suits can't compete with Steam directly. And why things might collapse after Gaben unalives.
Gaben loves video games and works related to them every single day. Timmies spend their time thinking how to manipulate people, taking orders from big money, doing drugs or complimenting/backstabbing each other in leather chairs.

30% to not have to think about server costs for file hosting, game and patch distribution, payment processing, refund handling, Steamworks API usage (and the gazillions of things that lets you do), cloud saves, a forum for the game, limited to extensive advertisement (depends), and a bunch of other things I'm probably forgetting sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
I'd accept that if I was an indie dev.

It costs 100$ to put a game on steam, everyone has to pay that.

Actually suppliers regularly pay stores to carry their goods or to place them in better spots in the store.

Yes but that's nearly every company. It's rent seekers all the way down in capitalism and always was.

Tim is right. What Valve does is unethical. Their profits come from gambling and skimming 30% from game designers.
