    Forgot about steam’s forced DRM on purchases.

    Not a thing.

    Also, are you complaining that smaller devs get a bigger cut than larger devs? That’s certainly an interesting gripe…

      It’s “an interesting gripe” that indie game devs have to give a larger percentage of their money to the yacht fund than big companies do? If I thought you could read I’d believe you’re a corporate shill.

          It doesn’t sound that way at all.

          They were hostile (and for my part, im honestly fresh out of fucks to give)

      Smaller devs have to pay 30% of their revenues to steam. If a game sells well enough, their revenue share increases and steam takes a smaller cut, 25 or even 20%. This greatly benefits publishers of big games and unfairly punishes smaller developers. I think that’s a perfectly fair gripe.
