Remember how they just laid off 1000 employees?

Again, that was from the Fortnite team. It's like if Valve laid off people working on DOTA, it doesn't mean the storefront is doing poorly.

Also, ever notice how nobody was complaining about Steam's cut before that?

Yeah... you weren't paying attention then. People have been complaining about it before their storefront existed. This has been discussed a lot. Steam actually doesn't take 30%. That's the default. Big games, despite making more money, actually pay less, as dumb as that sounds.

Or the fact that much of the 30% cut is getting reinvested into Linux and FOSS to keep PC gaming an open ecosystem...

Citation needed. Some is. How much is going towards Gaben's several yachts?
