Brainless take. "I want all of the benefits of a huge storefront with free advertisement and countless features that attract customers, but I don't wanna pay for it!"

Brainless take. Valve is making money hand over fist. Most game devs are not making money. Valve aren't creating any of the games, valve aren't taking any of the risk
