So it's not predatory to let games become more expensive while also reducing running costs? Because if you run the numbers it means they're just increasing their profits by charging the same % and forcing devs and publishers to increase the cost of games to compensate for development costs increasing. The only winner here is Valve, maybe you should start defending your own interests instead of defending the interests of a billionaire.

Steam is not making the games more expensive, the game studios/distributors are increasing the prices so they can make more profit.
