What a strange way to look at it. Does Valve charge double than other store fronts, or did those other store fronts start charging half in an attempt to undercut Valve?

Also I find it strange how you mention things like publishing fees and people not liking games being released on other store fronts instead of Steam while you fail to write a single mention to Steam's main competitor in those fronts: the Epic Games Store.

Is there a reason for these 2 points, or are they just a coincidence?

What a strange way to look at it. Here Valve is, actively working to addict children to their unregulated gambling market, but yeah, let’s deflect the conversation by protecting them and pointing out how mean we think somebody else is being to them.

What a strange way to wish someone a happy new year back. At least I know what I can gift you for next Christmas. Labels!

I actually typed Origin when I meant to type EGS, which charges 18% to Steam's 30%.

Because they came way after and are willing to take a loss in hopes of taking out valve ... And yet they haven't.

I can totally understand a small dev team who self-publish their games taking Epic's exclusivity deal, even publishing on the EGS instead of Steam, every cent counts if they want to survive. But that's not the whole story.
