Yes and before Steam the Publisher kept 60%, 30% is fine

That's like arguing the guy who beats his wife isn't so bad because he used to cut on her too, but stopped. It should be 10% max for a store. And publishers all take too big a cut as well

What math are you basing 10% off of? Because that's grossly undervalues the service Valve provides between a store, community hub, unintrusive optional DRM, modding platform and more
