yeah, i think the 30% is fair enough, given the amount of stuff you get as a user by using steam, like

good cross-platform support
a working friendlist and chat system
remote play together
the workshop and community features
profile customisation stuff for those that like it
whishlists and gifts

i honestly feel like while they're a monopoly, they don't do anything other companies can't do, their cut goes to fund features others simply don't provide, so it's entierly fair for them to be more expensive than the competition

To be honest Epic now has a shopping cart... After almost 5 years of wait, mind you.
