Comment on EU fines Apple $568m for deterring third-party payment methods on App Store
benny@reddthat.com 3 weeks agoSteam reduced their cut to 20% for the biggest publishers, let’s see any of the others do that. They also allow other stores on the steam deck. They also allow steam keys and shouldn’t demand MFN pricing.
Their cut is worth it to users for the same reasons as an iOS and Android user might say, except when it comes to switching platforms, your steam games can come with you to rival platforms and not just friendly ones.

Epic charges 12%, but they’re somehow the villain.

Not really, they’re the villain for doing exclusives. Steam never did exclusives, they offered their own games on consoles even when the store was in it’s infancy.

That’s exactly what Steam Greenlight was before they stopped all curation of games.

Curation and encouraging PC ports when the store was relatively new != exclusives.
