Last year, I pointed out how many big publishers came crawlin' back to Steam after trying their own things: EA, Activision, Microsoft. This year, for the first time ever, two Blizzard games released on Steam: Overwatch and Diablo 4.

Maybe steam keeps winning because they’re not actively screwing over their customers

Idk, they are kinda screwing over the publishers. But that doesn't impact the users buying the game, so they don't care. Which I guess the percentage they take is worth the value they bring, given so many keep selling on steam.

Genuinely curious but how are they screwing over the publishers?

I’m especially curious how that can be true along with the seemingly contradictory conclusion you came to in your last sentence.

Steam gets something to the tune of 30 % as their fee.

30% is industry standard from Apple, Microsoft, Google, Sony, etc.

Steam taking 30% is nothing out of the norm
