GOG’s fee is flexible, as are publisher contracts, which have no relevance to the discussion, as it’s in addition to store fees and involves major investments. Google is changing its fee to 20%. Epic’s is currently 0%. Microsoft Store’s is 12%, itch’s is adjustable. In the PC market, Valve is pretty much the main outlier at this point.

Ask devs which platform performs for them.
0% cut sounds nice until you sell nothing.
Same with the rest.
Oh yea I’ve got a platform right now that is charging 0% (out of the goodness of their heart I’m sure LOL yea right) and I make… nothing! Nada! Why? Because no one fucking wants to buy through them!
Meanwhile the platforms taking more are paying the bills and more.
