    Agreed, glad they didn’t take my already bought games.

    That said, I don’t like that after playing Suzerain my queue still gets other “Visual Novel” recommendations.

  Go back to how it was in 2010.

  Here’s my feedback: I don’t care. Sop gouging game developers.

      The amount they collect is far more than the operating costs. But theres a hidden benefit… market visibility. Thats the true value that makes it worth valve’s high fees.

    Can you explain your reasoning why you think steam is gouging devs? While you think it may not be fair valve has offered a lot to devs. If it wasn’t for steam, we probably wouldn’t have as many indie games as we do now and it wouldn’t be feasible for some developers to even dream of creating their own game.

    Steam does the marketing, they have a way for devs to interact with players, they store and distribute their game to include updates, they have a store page for every game, they have a payment system, they have drm and anti cheat if you want, they have analytics tools.

    You can even sell your game elsewhere with steam keys and they won’t take a cut. If devs were that worried about it, they could do that themselves and market it themselves.

    Just because a business is a business and trying to make money, doesn’t mean they are gouging people.

      Steam has a two-part fee structure for developers. First, there’s a $100 fee per game when publishing through Steam Direct, which is a one-time, non-refundable fee, but it can be recouped after the game generates $1,000 in adjusted gross revenue. Second, Steam takes a 30% commission on all sales.

    Agreed 30% is way to high. 15% is fair and they’d still make a ton of profit.

  They should fully integrate touch screen and controller based navigation for the steam deck. Its wild how the store doesn’t work that well on their hardware.

  I think we’re long overdue for a way to make the preview video on a game’s page bigger.

  I don’t have any problems with the ui. Only thing I wish is a native linux steam client instead of a wrapper that runs behind your game.
