MODERATORS
You can use the same argument about Musk or Benzos as well. Clearly, they are over charging for the value or they wouldn't be billionaires.
Steam could give the same value on 2% taken and Gaben would probably still be able to afford at least one of his 6 mega yatchs. But there's indie companies that are struggling where just an extra 10% would go a long way.
In the end, Gaben and his friends greed is killing indie companies, affecting the quality and amount of games we get and is having a detrimental effect on the industry.
Yet because Gaben has a really good pr team and managed to convince everyone he's "not your average billionaire", we now have comments comparing him to Jesus and applauding his monopoly as being the only good one. Fucking hell.
