I was bringing them out from a developer choice standpoint and acknowledged that it was a bad angle for this later.

Fair enough - I was thinking in terms of choice rather than justification. A better question, then, would be: what is a fair percentage given Steam's services both developer-side and player-side (more satisfied players are also a perk for developers)?

Well, the closest they have to a decent competitor is GOG. Epic is only good for free games (and supports AI slop).

Or, hear me out on this one...
Real-money-and-equivalent gambling could be removed from Steam completely. No age verification needed.
As for child safety, Steam already has parental control features. I don't know how extensive/useful are they, though.

That is a separate and valid issue Steam needs to be called out on, yes.

As long as Steam can give at least 25.8 percent more sales than Epic (or other place that offers 12%), it's a better deal for developers as well.
(math: (1-0.12)/(1-0.30)=1.2571=1+25.71%)
