So is your solution to have Valve hire more people and be less profitable? That would justify their fees?

No, they should have charged lower fees.

You talk like a shill.

You're literally defending a billionaire who made his money overcharging gamers for decades.

If they camharge lower fees they would be getting allegations of pricing out any competition and get a lot of bad will. It's a lose lose situation with the solution you are proposing

Lowering fees would have resulted in everyone liking them even more.
