You'd think they could afford to knock that 30% cut down a little by now. |

Valve just offers such a good service with Steam. I first check Steam before buying a game anywhere else. GOG is a close runner-up though. |

That's not how capitalism works. If anything, they should be increasing their prices because they have a stranglehold on the market. |

Same, then I load the game I bought on GOG in steam for convenience. |

He bought the yacht company, what's next? The sea? At least his money isn't as dirty as most tech ceo's money is (although it isn't completely clean) |

They already do. I forget the numbers but once you've sold X copies it drops maybe to 20%? Then once you've sold Y copies (where Y > X) it drops even further, say like 10%? |

I legitimately don't understand this argument. Can you elaborate why Steam is singled out for this? Something beyond "Steam bad"? |

So that only helps mega popular games and not small ones |

Pretty sure both apple and google have been targetted for this as well, in court cases brought by epic iirc. |

Because Steam is the company under discussion here. I don't think Steam is bad. |

I’ve basically moved all my ps5 gaming to steam. I bought a DisplayPort to hdmi 2 adapter for my computer and the expertise got a whole lot better. |
