    Steam is the only store putting the customer first. The refund policy is top notch. Heck just making proton, giving gamers the choice of os, is the best thing for gamers since computers was invented!

        That they are miles better then the competition, does not mean there are no room for improvements.

      Microsoft’s refund policy is top notch too and I see proton as leveraging open source to avoid dev costs.

      More importantly, everything steam does could be done with 5% instead of 30% and Gaben would still be filthy rich.

      Steam is as greedy as the other platforms and it’s us, the consumers, and the indie scene that suffer for it. Are you okay with your favorite indie studio closing and your favorite game not getting a sequel because Gaben wants 8000 million a year instead of 1000 million a year?

      There is most likely collusion and soft monopolies, these platforms are clearly not competing in good faith.
