30% is industry standard, everybody but Epic charges that and also Steam is not just a flat 30% many devs and pubs pay less.

I agree 30% is high for every storefront besides Steam and and arguably GoG. The sheer range of services and support for both players and devs is exponentially above literally everything else, you are not just paying for a storefront with steam like you are literally everywhere else.

As for GoG, I'll let them slide on 30% because of how much effort and resources they put into preservation as well as their "customer is the administrator of their purchases" attitude.
