Apple are assholes, but yes, you're right about Valve. Gamers are mugs the way they give Valve a pass on this. 30% was justified when they were creating this market - and kudos to them on that score - but time has moved on and they're just rent collecting on a massive scale these days

Yes. Valve is greedy because they take 30%. It's totally not the people decrying that fact, who by the way, get 70%, aren't greedy. The loudest of which is the operator of a competing service that is extremely anti-consumer.
