Ultimately the EGS has shown 12% is not profitable, a lower cut would be nice for smaller devs but I don't see why Valve would when every other platform of Steam's size also takes 30%.
Citation needed. They're still operating, while paying games for exclusivity, and giving away games for free (at their own cost). Sure, a lot of this is likely funded by Fortnite, but to say it isn't profitable when they're giving away this much money is a big claim. Also, Valve would be significantly more profitable at the same rate, because they have almost total market capture. Even if Epic isn't profitable (I've seen no evidence of this) we can't extrapolate to say Vlave wouldn't be.
