    If you’re a game dev, then you should also know how valuable every service steam gives is, if you’re just “a dev” then it’s not really relevant beyond understanding how much setting up all of that infrastructure would cost in terms of time, effort, marketing to actually get discoverability, and actual server costs once you need to scale.

    Either way you should know enough to get that 30% is absolutely worth it.

        They could, but why would they when 30% is fair still? You are not entitled to setting other people’s asking price, and they are entitled to setting the cost of their own labour.

        If anyone is greedy here it’s you, demanding to have a say in how much is a fair rate for someone else’s time and skill.
