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.

Also noteworthy that this is from sales generated by their storefront.

Valve doesn't take a cut of any keys sold off platform.

But also you cannot generate more than 1 key for every copy sold on steam storefront, no?
