takes the same cut from each key sold as every other platform

That is just blatantly wrong. Steam takes 30%, Epic takes 12% after the first $1M.

I just wanted to point out that from the article they linked Valves cut of profits also drop by a certain amount per game sold.

And Epic also notoriously reduced their cut of profits under 1 million just last year.

After $10 million in sales through Steam, Valve’s cut drops to 25% on all new sales, and drops again to 20% on sales after $50 million.

I agree with you though.
