they dont punish you their rule is that you cant put your game on steam for 60 bucks then turn around and put it on your own launcher at 30 they just don't want people trying to poach customers unfairly

I'm Team Steam for life. They are hands down the most pro-consumer marketplace of ANY kind. The only way you're ever turning me against them is if you show me an even more pro-consumer marketplace.

If a game is more expensive on steam but cheaper in any other store, i will still buy on steam. Except gog though.

Wait aren't those 30% cut industry standard? I mean Google and Apple also always take a 30% cut with each sale. I remember there was a legal dispute between epic games and google/apple over this.

team steam here. yes i can see why the devs are frustrated but at least when my steam account was hacked i don't hqve to jump through a million hoops to get fixed they are good at their job and it shows. steam also has a really good refund policy not to mention the fact that their platform is over all better. steam is the only platform i know that allows you add nonsteam games to your library so you can still keep your games in one area (you still have to update those games through their OG platform)

Confused to how it would be a monopoly or anti trust since the 30% is to cover server space/bandwidth/useage of platform and customer reach but I will always be team steam aswell atleast even more so now when they are helping the push for gaming on Linux, any new game is looked up on steam first and i even rebought some games on steam just becuase using Proton with steam is so much easier then fankenstein it with other launchers "looking at you Battle.net(even though Fagus Launcher does a good job)"

I think that steam should offer a plan where they take a smaller cut but the developer must maintain a download server themselves and it must be kept available for anyone that bought the game even if the game is no longer being sold and the developer studio has shut down and no longer exists.

30% cut is extremely steep, especially when you realize how much it takes to make a proper game and already have to compete with other games. For a big budget studio it's a steal, for indie devs that can mean basically making zero dollars at times. Making a game isn't cheap, it's a combination of every kind of art form into one craft and that can mean a LOT of 3rd party cuts and charges, not to mention employees who need to be properly paid.

This is just part of the witch hunt to crush Steam because it is the most user friendly market and the big publishers do not like that

It’s not exactly an unreasonable rule. Why would I want you to sell cheaper than me in another platform. And 30 percent isn’t that unreasonable because many other platform do the same. Tbh since steam had so much users, they can actually increase the commission if they want to.

Isn’t this one of most pro consumer policy? When you choose platform to buy game this make sure you won’t be overcharged because epic, launcher or gog version of game is cheaper. Not to mention that steam is very convenient and that is why it have such large pool of players. Cheaper shop won’t make people go there, at this point due to issue with epic launcher(freezing etc.) I won’t even get free games because I hate using epic store. Not to mention that this isn’t about setting price they just want to sell more games on stores that takes less cut from them or give them exclusive money for each copy they don’t sell

i dont use steam but from a dev point of view. steam is a literally scam. imagine selling an old pc on ebay and having to pay 100$ just to list it then 30% of what ever you sell it for is taken

yes but it is more of an internal issue from Valve. Gabe didn't know his Legal team was responsible for such atrocious behaviour.
