Imagine if Microsoft banned users from installing the software they want on Windows.
Imagine if Microsoft required all software developers to give them 30% of their earning or Microsoft will permanently ban them from Windows
Fuck the stupid morons who defend Apple. You are morons. The people who run Apple have Yachts and Private Islands. They do not give a shit about you.
I agree that the 30% cut is too much. The only reason I give them a pass is because Steam is really good (at least, as a user). But I still want them to lower it.
For a dev those 30% are very much worth it because Steam has tons of customers and very good recommendation algorithms, you gain more in additional sales than what you lose from the cut. Could they do with less probably but they’re not extorting devs. There’s a reason why Epic had to do stuff like guarantee sales and provide huge advances to get anyone onto their excuse for a platform.
