Honestly, I’ll probally care about this more when someone else tries to make a service remotely close to what steam provides. Hell epic is probally the closest we got and they are in the red AND lacking in function set that steam provides. Steam charges 30% up until 10m and then 25 till 50m then it’d 20% while giving a multitude of extra services the other companies charging similar rates don’t, seems fair to me.
some examples:
gog: 30%
store
review system
epic: 12% (isn’t turning a profit)
store
cloud save
return system
steam 30
store
mod workshop
reviews
discussion forum
return system
Microsoft store 12%
store
review system
Looking into it, IGN made a nice picture (2019 though so a little old perhaps) so I’ll add that too
