    Oh no, a sales platform that takes a cut of revenue.

    Valve isn’t a charity, and they provide very good services for what developers pay.

    Devs don’t need to host download servers, they don’t need to staff customer service reps, they don’t have to set up banking infrastructure or worry at all about handling payments from hundreds of different banks across hundreds of countries.

    It’s not like valve takes 30% and sits on it. They put that money to use.
