Yes but no solo developer with a single brain cell is complaining about steam taking 30% of the cut because they know that the value steam offers them is way less than that 30% cut.

That doesn’t say anything. They’re not complaining, but it doesn’t mean they won’t benefit from Steam taking a smaller cut.

Well I’d also profit if groceries wouldn’t have doubled in price but we can’t all have what we want.

I can only repeat myself: Paying steam 30% of your revenue is next to nothing compared to what publishers are usually taking from an indie dev.

Are all publishers like that, to all devs? You and I can’t say. If all the money goes to Steam, it is a blackhole for the money. It is money that doesn’t go into the development and marketing of a game.
