Ah, yes, capitalism. Because they don’t have to pay to maintain servers and infrastructure or anything, right?
Nor do they pay for bandwidth when you download your 100gb game for the nth time in the past month.
Nor do they have a ton of functions and services for both devs and consumers like easy refunds, regional pricing, steam keys, trading cards, steam workshop, steam forums, chatrooms, remote play… just to name some.
Yeah, such moneygrabbing comic book villains that just sit in their pile of money and don’t provide anything good.

How does valve’s ass taste?
Delicious :)
They are stacking billions. It means they are paying peanuts compared to what they are making.
I like Steam but come on, they are more profitable per employee than Apple. They are clearly not hurting even if I download my games over and over.
And they provide a better service than Apple.
Absolutely. There are iOS apps and games I bought that don’t run anymore and Apple wants us to accept this as normal.
I read somewhere most of the cost is payment providers, scams, chargebacks and refunds they can’t offload onto the publishers.
