So is your solution to have Valve hire more people and be less profitable? That would justify their fees? Or are you mad that the best market place with the most features is beating the pants off the last second cash grab platform that is just an extension of Ten Cent and the giant money pits sucking up actual developers?
You talk like a shill. Valve doesn’t need to charge less for the services they provide. They know what they have, which they have earned through good will and listening to feedback. Epic has nothing but money to pay people to shit talk Steam.
If they camharge lower fees they would be getting allegations of pricing out any competition and get a lot of bad will. It’s a lose lose situation with the solution you are proposing
Why do you think the fees are absurd?
Because per employee, Valve is one of the most profitable tech companies ever. That means they charged far higher fees than their costs.

No, they should have charged lower fees.
You’re literally defending a billionaire who made his money overcharging gamers for decades.

Lowering fees would have resulted in everyone liking them even more.
I don’t get the logic.
If my company makes 10.000.000 with just 5 employees, then it is one of the most profitable companies ever.
But this does not factor in how much of that money ist spend on keeping the infrastructure up, paying for resources or manufacturing.
You’re thinking of revenue, not profit. Profit is revenue minus costs.
Ah, my bad. Guess you got a point then.
