You'd think they could afford to knock that 30% cut down a little by now.
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%?
So that only helps mega popular games and not small ones
That's not how capitalism works. If anything, they should be increasing their prices because they have a stranglehold on the market.
I legitimately don't understand this argument.
Can you elaborate why Steam is singled out for this? Something beyond "Steam bad"?
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.
