@lanodan @SuperDicq @hj > Steam takes a 30% cut on games, which is rather big

Is it, tho? Let's not forget Steam hosts not just games but also user content for games (the Steam Workshop), game forums, cloud saves, the ability to download games even years and years after a sale etc.

Quite frankly I don't think Steam could keep hosting an ever-increasing catalogue of games and all the other associated features (and also pour money into things like Wine/Proton, DXVK, Mesa, ACO etc)

> you cannot sell at a lower price elsewhere

itch.io lets you sell at whatever cut you want (including giving the store a flat 0%)
