Yes. They sued Valve with allegation that they are too successful by providing good service. Sure 30% is too much for some developers, but solution is quite simple... don't sell on Steam. Problem solved. Go to Epic, GoG, bunch of others. Hell every company now has its own launcher and store.

Nah, it's mean old valve making it so people aren't flocking to publish their games on UPlay.

What's saddest of all is the fact they are willing to throw millions on this litigation instead of spending that money on improving the service. They claim it's for the good of all users, but their actions tell different story.

Or even just make it more expensive on steam, if you really want 100% of the revenue for every sale. Pass the cost of using steam on to the user and offer the game on other (worse) markets at a markdown.

There could be a clause in terms of use that Steam won't allow developers to make their games most expensive on Steam, or at least cheaper than elsewhere.

Developers already do that fairly often. Typically indie devs. They will sell their game directly for lower prices than listed on steam.
