The decline of the Steam games platform is inevitable, and there are already warning signs.

I don't get if it's a negative comment or not (apologies) but for what you listed, I think 30% is fair

I think 30% is fair too, thats what I was asking. I don't know the industry, but steam takes on a lot of responsibility hosting a game and handling what I listed.

Ooh okay! I thought was something bad, sorry.

Yeah, it has:

  • Proton
  • Steam input that's plug and play most of the times
  • Forums
  • Workshop
  • Community
  • Cloud sync & backup
  • The whole social-ish part (useful or not up to people)
  • more

30% is a fair cut but not all get that
