What Cut does Steam Take?
Steam takes a pretty standard cut in the digital storefront world, grabbing a 30% slice of the pie from sales of games and other digital content. But, before you go thinking that's a lot, remember this is pretty much the industry standard. Plus, they've got a tiered system, which means once a game makes over $10 million, Steam's cut drops to 25%, and then even further to 20% once sales hit $50 million. So, the more you sell, the less you give away!

Actually, Steam's 30% take isn't that bad when you consider the vast audience and the features they offer. It's basically the cost of doing business on such a popular platform.
Everyone's hung up on the 30% but let's not forget the tiers; they really matter for successful games!
