So? I don't care if they're forced to lower his salary. You said nothing differentiates Steam enough and I'm saying it does so by being good.
The majority of customers on all storefronts are fine with the pricing as-is. Steam's competitive advantage comes from being the best storefront with an amazing library and . That's why it's the top dog
I'm clearly not. I'm defending the service itself
Pricing has nothing to do with Steam dude…. that’s publisher/developer controlled. And they have a quite a lot of stink to say about the cut they take for nothing. They need to curate and moderate all their own store page, Steam does what and takes 30%?
It’s no wonder some take epics deals, the cut they take is 12%, that’s significant. And if epic can operate by taking that much with their employee count, clearly valve could be doing a far better job of what they do, but they do what again…? Line Gabe’s pocket and what else?
