I’m just talking about the talking point of them taking a cut of sales, it’s the exact same as a store adding markup. A store is adding way more than 30% on most physical goods. Data storage and bandwidth are fucking expensive and 30% honestly isn’t that much.
Gacha trash. Let me know when they’re making Portal 3 or Half-Life 3. And really, it doesn’t even have to be those franchises, but I mean, a single-player game that you pay for once and that’s it, and it has puzzles that make you think. What they were known for before they started making money off other people’s work and stopped creating wonderful things.
I mean, I know they still work on their gacha games.
Might seem like I’m moving goalposts and maybe I did, but I’m just nostalgic for when they made unforgettable games like Portal and Half-Life 2.
The store isn’t also making games.
Like how Apple gets to take 30% of Spotify subscriptions and they operate a competing music service. That’s where it becomes wrong.
Of course, Valve doesn’t make games either now, so maybe it’s a moot point.

Okay, so you’re just a nostalgic hater. Deadlock is a masterpiece.
