They already take 30% on each game. It's huge, considering they didn't spent a dime on these games. That means they will take most of the profit margin on a game, if any, while a studio has to pay for dozens or hundreds of employees, tons of hardware, workspaces, etc.
30% is the industry standard though, and Valve's contributions of distribution and discovery infrastructure, its audience, and expanding hardware initiatives are not nothing. If you're not pricing a game to give yourself a healthy margin within the 70% or your development model doesn't make that viable, that's really on you.
I mean, Spotify's model is the industry standard, and it still suck big time and doesn't give a shit about artists.
Anyway if I've learn anything over the past 10 years, it's that it would probably be easier to convince a room full of maga to vote for Hillary Clinton than the average gamer to admit that steam sucks. So keep kissing this billionaire's ass because he really does care about you, and remember Ubisoft and Epic (12% cut) bad.
I'm not saying the standard doesn't suck, just taking issue with the implication that anyone using it is uniquely bad to do so.
But yeah, you're right that getting me to admit Steam (overall) sucks would be nigh impossible. I genuinely don't believe it does, so there's nothing to admit. Maybe you could convince me to lie about it though? Lol.
I do admit there's a few places it sucks, the gambling stuff being the biggest, but their positives eclipse those for me. I also acknowledge I'm in a privileged position being able to enjoy Valve's efforts in VR, Linux compatibility, etc. directly and that I might have different opinions if I was on the outside looking in. I imagine that's not quite the admission you want though.
