That lawsuit against Steam’s 30% cut of game sales is now a class action, meaning many other developers could benefit(www.rockpapershotgun.com)

With all due respect, fuck off. Publishers have been extorting the game industry for over 2 decades and yet people like are sitting around wanting more money from them. Go shill for some CEO but stop bothering me if you don’t want to see the fucking truth.

I am well aware of that. But AGAIN, no dev that is self-published complains about the 30% cut because if he did all of the stuff steam does by himself he’d be paying WAY more than the 30% steam charges.

Also, whether or not all publishers are all extorting devs is up to the courts to decide. To be fair, they probably thought a class action lawsuit was better because the original lawsuit was for a publisher which was as bad as you say. All I ever said was I’m okay with the case to continue because of my thoughts that none of you hive minders really could disprove.
