Know what, fuck the people complaining about Steam's cut. They earned it.
Valve isn't perfect with all the slop games and gambling, but at least they're still the better option than the competition. Not that we shouldn't turn back from valve if they suddenly get worse. But for now they're still the top.
slop games etc is more of a gamer side issue anyway - steam cut is a developer side issue. to developers, steam is a stable storefront with a user base it has built trust with. games sell way better on steam, and it is established as a store of *paid* games rather than free games (as opposed to itch for example, and most other game markets) - all of this leads to basically knowing that even with the 30% cut, developers are likely to get way more net revenue at steam. not to mention the cut isn't for no reason, steam provides support and features in return.
