  I was bringing them out from a developer choice standpoint and acknowledged that it was a bad angle for this later.

  Fair enough - I was thinking in terms of choice rather than justification. A better question, then, would be: what is a fair percentage given Steam’s services both developer-side and player-side (more satisfied players are also a perk for developers)?

  Well, the closest they have to a decent competitor is GOG. Epic is only good for free games (and supports AI slop).

  Or, hear me out on this one…

  Real-money-and-equivalent gambling could be removed from Steam completely. No age verification needed.

  As for child safety, Steam already has parental control features.

  That is a separate and valid issue Steam needs to be called out on, yes.

  As long as Steam can give at least 25.8 percent more sales than Epic, it’s a better deal for developers as well.

  (math: (1-0.12)/(1-0.30)=1.2571=1+25.71%)

  Then it’s not FOSS.
