I did say something similar, it’s clearly just to give an idea.
I’m basing it on the fact that it would still be insanely profitable with such a percentage, personally I would rather see it much lower.
An utterly meaningless challenge just to defend daddy Gaben. Why don’t you talk about my actual points instead of spitting out useless dribble. Stop defending billionaires.
You realize the others only charge that much since steam set the standard… yeah? All of them can charge less so what’s your point here? You clearly lied in your original comment, and are now making up points to defend it.
Prove that they are profitable at 30% if they couldn’t go lower at least one or two would be near the red every single year, yet it’s climbing profits….?
But you know there is no physical proof of this, yet you claim it? I’m sorry you got to do a little critical thinking on your own. Most can obviously take atleast down to 25% if not significantly more and still be positive.
You made the initial claim, so it’s up to you to prove it’s unprofitable to be less than 30%, balls in your court if you actually want to discuss this.
No, prove that what you said is correct. It’s historical data in your case, about how Steam started the 30% trend, allegedly.
My claim was that 30% was a standard before Steam, not at all about how much less profitable it would be for them if it was different.
Also putting the blame on Steam for others allegedly following its model is not logical if your point is about how obvious it always was that 30% is excessive.
why would they have any need or business sense to charge less?
Because their business is different from steam? Or maybe because they are more experienced in business and could show the world how it’s done? Wait, why do we even assume that Steam had such huge influence around the time when other digital stores popped up (some of which also didn’t live very long)? The pc gaming was massively considered niche for a very long time, only until recent years. I can’t imagine Apple going “oh right, we are creating our own digital store mostly for mobile devices so we need to check how that PC gaming company does their business, to copy their practices”.
Took from what? Is this about the revenue share again? Stop listening to that idiot Timmy.
We know that many others take the same %% so I could say even if they took 50% they wouldn’t deliver a product as good as Steam.
To be clear, I’m not listening to anyone. I think the government should step in and force a maximum of 5% on all stores, or something similar.
The fact that they all take the same percentage is exactly the reason why I’m saying there’s collusion going on.
I’m sure you came up with that 5% number after careful research and didn’t just pull some low round number out of your ass.

Government of which country or countries? You wouldn’t think they would stay in the US if what you said will happen, would you?
Epics 12% and they operate with how many more employees?
So what is valve doing with all this extra money than on Gabe?
Epics are posers at this point, or one could say a fake platform. Remove Fortnite from them and it will shut down immediately, especially at 12%.

I’ll wait for you to prove this.

Are any of those other store fronts newer than steam?
If not, why would they have any need or business sense to charge less?
You’re moving goal posts and refusing to accept responsibility for your original claims. That’s not discussing in good faith.
Retail stores.
Because their business is different from steam? Or maybe because they are more experienced in business and could show the world how it’s done? Wait, why do we even assume that Steam had such huge influence around the time when other digital stores popped up (some of which also didn’t live very long)?

Everything is fine with them.
