Taking a 30 percent cut seems to be standard for the industry, and Valve provides above-standard services such as Workshop, matching, cloud sync, various community integrations. That aside, if they took a smaller cut, none of this would be passed on to the customer. In summary, whichever way the suit goes, I don't see a reason to care.
