This may be true but shouldn't be read as an indicator of any shady business on Valve's part. Steam makes most of their money from commissions, not developer sign up fees.
Steam sells a lot of games and the game market as a whole is over 70% PC (and about 40% console with overlap).
- EncomLab 2y agoI agree - it's not an indicator at all of shady business by Valve. If anything, Valve is the least shady and most transparent player in the game industry.
- kmeisthax 2y agoValve is shady, but their shadiness comes from things like Counter-Strike loot boxes rather than milking developers.
- ranguna 2y agoValve forbids developers from selling their game on a different store at a lower price than steam, that's a bit shady. Not too bad, but not amazing either.
- BlueTemplar 2y agoHuh, wouldn't this be illegal in at least some jurisdictions ?!?
- BlueTemplar 2y agoWait, not that I personally have much hope left for the worthiness of touchscreen gaming, but I doubt it's negligible ?!? (Web gaming might be ?)
