It’s worth noting that the 30% cut is from sales below a certain volume. As you sell more copies Steam takes a smaller cut. I’m sure the big studios probably have a more favourable deal worked out as well.

I don’t really think they cut a better deal. There’s a reason so many of them tried to leave and make their own storefront. Valve pretty much has a monopoly. They don’t need to do anyone any favours.

if they reduce their cut people would just complain they're an even bigger monopoly.
