"Get nothing out of it?" Go ahead and spin up a store front that processes payments with every major channel, then come back to me in a decade when you've got that up and I'll give you your next task.

Could just as easily argue it's Valve who isn't getting anything for your ten shovelware asset flip titles getting no sales, but they still have to pay for your overhead.

If you want to kiss valves' ass, be my guest. A company with 300 or so employees making a 3-4 billion profit last year is the same as Uber. Everyone's just a contractor and should be happy they use the platform. I'm not arguing if walmart or amazon is better. They both suck and they're stores. Valve has a nice history of suck as well as all the rest, everyone turns a blind eye to this. So I'm not going to pretend they're the good guys.
