Valve is just stealing money from gamers

If you actually think that reduced fees mean lower cost for consumer, you're out of touch with reality.

and developers

They are free to go somewhere else like the EGS utopia where developers are definitively get paid directly an equal cut of each sale and no publisher intermediary like EA and Activision is just taking all the revenue and the developers get paid their usual salary anyhow.
