It's not really a tax though. Other platforms offer a lower percentage (Epic: 0% up to 1000000 copies sold and 12% above) and yet the prices on Epic aren't cheaper than on steam.

If the final price doesn't change based on the storefront cut, then as a consumer, I don't care.



Doesn't Steam have a price-parity clause in their contracts with developers?
