They indirectly are inflating it with their 30% cut

So games sold on storefronts owned by the same publishers as the game should be 30% cheaper right? Right?

Should be cheaper, emphasis on should, but at the same time if they sell directly and take the same cut, that’s one less intermediary in the chain so more money going to the devs.

None of the managerial class are good people, wake up, all billionaires are taking advantage of us.

They are also deflating it by providing services that developers would otherwise have to spend time and money on to develop themselves.

Their 30% cuts allowed Gabe to start collecting yachts, they could charge a lot less while still offering the same services and only Gabe would see his finances take the hit, no one else in the world would be poorer if they charged 20% instead.
