Isn't the Steam business model to charge less than everyone else though?

That seems like the exact opposite of greedy.

30%, same as apple, gog and... Well epic takes less then 15, microsoft takes even less, itch also takes less (unclear to me if 10% or set your own).

Anyway steam is only good for game makers because it is steam. Financially that is, because it is the biggest.

Edit: Itch default is 10%, but you can set it to 0% or even up to 100% if you want.

Well epic takes less then 15

But forces you to stick with the Epic platform for a year; bad for gamers, IMO.

Which is why I don't use Epic. GoG and Steam all the way, baybee!
