wow, if thats true, I think I will never buy from STEAM or GOG unless I can help it.

 

Honestly, if they get 30% from everyone, for selling their games.. I don't see how Steam/Valve is not larger then microsux in a few years.

 

That's pretty standard for digital marketplaces, on consoles, the manufacturers will take 10% even out of retail sales!

 

And yes, Valve has a lot of money. And I personally think, they should be diverting some of that money to support PC exclusive projects/games. But they don't. Oh well.

 

I always try to buy from devs directly, but only if they offer Steam keys. I love the ecosystem there and it's where I have all my games.

EDIT: SteamDB for some more graph goodness.

According to this, there are 52 people playing Pillars of Eternity right now.

 

A pox on them and their unbelievable good fortunes.

*shrug* I'm happy for their sake. I'm getting my copy in 3 days :) it's also been on the table that reviewers and streamers would get it before the majority for a long time. It's something like 0.25% of all backers (1/400th of you), and it is beneficial for the product, just as beneficial as it was that we got Backer Beta (Pay-2-Beta). It aided in the manufacturing, in tightening many screws, framing it, and making it delivery ready.

 

This is just part of the (exciting) process (imo). The 26th can't come soon enough :D

Ping all devs. Why is this?

If this is an error, you should contact Steam immediately. You are losing out on the higher spots on the Steam charts, which you might achieve if the sales numbers of the two identical(?) PoEs are added together.

Providing file downloads at high-speeds to very large numbers of people costs money. Servers, bandwidth, employees to create & maintain digital infrastructure, customer support, etc.
