    IIRC 30% was also the standard box store cut. Steam just carried it on.

  So that’s like a 2.5 - 7% margin on a $70 game… an extra 7% profit margin at the high end is pretty significant

    Yes, if you’re selling millions of units. But if you’re buying just one, $2-$5 probably isn’t going to matter to you. Not many people would buy a game at $68 they wouldn’t buy at $70.
