Valve could reduce their cut honestly, perhaps some program for independent developers to help them get on their feet. I don't think the top games or big publishers should be getting cut reductions.

Either way, Valve haven't been buying out studios for exclusive games, so Epic and Sweeney can go fuck themselves, they are scum.

At the same time it's not like Valve is not making use of the extra money to use it only for taking in profits. It might of been what made it possible to try entering the hardware market with VR and the Steam Deck and putting resources in trying to make Linux gaming for accessible for regular people. Might of been what allowed them to not be deterred after the failure of the Steam machine and Steam Controller.

Might have, brother. Might have.

Why do I see this online so often? Is it an educational thing? Is it an auto correct thing? Or something other? I am not a native speaker, so I have no clue how this happens.

My understanding is folks tend to gravitate towards that because it's indeed very close to might've and whatnot phonetically. My anecdotal experience as a non-native speaker is we tend to be less affected since we usually tackle speaking and listening more seriously after we've already familiarized ourselves enough with writing/reading, grammar and vocab.

Pretty much the tl;dr here, yeah 🤣

It blows my mind as well. My native language is Spanish, but for me it's way easier to follow language rules properly in English. May have something to do with the fact that my native language is my regular language for expression, so I don't pay much mind to how I use it, but English being a second language, I actually try to make sure I'm understood. Anyway, that's what I think could potentially be the reason.
