Actually, it's 30%. And honestly, that's a huge slice of the pie if you ask me.

Steam typically takes about a 30% cut from sales of games and other digital content on its platform, which is pretty standard across most digital distribution platforms. However, they've got a tiered revenue system in place. Once a game makes over $10 million, Steam's cut drops to 25%, and then after $50 million, it goes down even further to 20%. So, the more you sell, the less they take!
30%? Yes, but Steam also gives a lot back to developers in terms of visibility, ease of updates, and a massive gamer community. It's an investment in your game's success.
Steam's 30% cut might seem steep, but when you consider the vast audience, the social features, and the seamless updates they provide, it's pretty worth it. My indie game saw a lot more traction there than I initially anticipated, thanks to their ecosystem.
