its 14C inside the house (57F) and i sure hope gaben is nice and warm, enjoying the armada of luxury yachts he bought off the back of indie devs giving him 30% of their revenue
when people are like "but doesnt steam give visibility so 30% is fair?" i love to point out that the 30% hasn't changed since the days where getting a game on steam got you a guaranteed half a million front page impressions whereas now it's fucking zero
love to make excuses for billionaire oligarchs cause they got you some sweet discounts on games once
btw, itch thinks 10% is fair, EGS thinks 12%, and even physical retail is often slightly south of 30% so where the fuck does valve get off?
oh but wait, valve does give 10% revshare deals! to the biggest players in the industry. so i guess they do think that's fair. they just want small indies to subsidize the likes of fucking microsoft
