So what is your actual point here? Because you've said fuck-all to make a point.
Valve's cut should be less than a third.
Do you need a diagram?
You know they're not hurting. They enjoy immense profit, at the expense of people who still make games. All excuses are tired nonsense. The cut isn't why Epic sucks. It's not why GOG has less market share. Steam barged its way into relevance on the back of Half-Life 2, and was the first digital game store anyone bothered to use.
They'll have a de-facto monopoly next year because they had a de-facto monopoly last year. That's all it takes. That's the entire fucking reason we have laws about monopolies. They can do whatever the hell they want to publishers, and there's fuck-all consumers can do about it.
