You have to have never seriously engaged with the details of the Valve monopoly if you think that’s what we are upset about.

We know Steam is an amazing storefront—I buy my agames there because it’s the best experience for the cost. But Steam charges a premium. And despite taking smaller cuts, competing platforms like Epic cannot actual pass those cost savings to consumers because Valve is strongarming game publishers into fixing prices.

You have your head in the sand if you think Valve’s 30% fee is a fair market price for what they do.
