Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb.

Maybe I’m not seeing the whole picture, doesn’t steam host the game data? Push updates? Promote? Host workshops if applicable? Use their bandwidth? Sync saves when applicable?

Sounds like that 30% goes a long way.

Is that cut too much to cover all those things?

I don’t get if it’s a negative comment or not (apologies) but for what you listed, I think 30% is fair

  I think 30% is fair too, thats what I was asking. I don’t know the industry, but steam takes on a lot of responsibility hosting a game and handling what I listed.

    Ooh okay! I thought was something bad, sorry.
    
    Yeah, it has:
    
    Proton
    
    Steam input that’s plug and play most of the times
    
    Forums
    
    Workshop
    
    Community
    
    Cloud sync & backup
    
    The whole social-ish part (useful or not up to people)
    
    more
    
    30% is a fair cut but not all get that
