I bought several indie game bundles when they were for Linux and/or DRM free. Sadly I had trouble getting most of the Linux games running, at least on Debian (thanks multiarch). I have also bought a few titles off their web store, all you get there is a Steam key. However, I have bought games from the store specificaly hoping that Valve gets less of the cut (PUBG being the latest).

However, I just bought two book bundles over the past month. They are still fantastic. 10-15 books DRM free for about dollar or so each, and a portion of that money I specified to be donated to FSF.

Hopefully post IGN aquisition the book bundles will continue.

PS. I bought Cuphead week of release on GOG to show my support. It may be Windows only but it was DRM free at launch.

Valve get nothing when you purchase a steam key from another sales platform. They allow the free use of their drm and content delivery platform to acquire new customers, and keep existing customers locked in.

Interesting. This is the closest source I found with a quick search: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys

Phil Fish who created the indie game Fez (which I also purchased) stated Steam & GOG take a 30% cut whereas Humble only took 5%. http://www.pcgamer.com/steam-and-gog-take-30-revenue-cut-sug...

Personally DRM free takes precident. I haven't bought a AAA game through steam since Portal 2. I buy games through GOG to get a DRM version - for example I bought Firewatch from GOG and played it in Linux. DRM free Humble Bundles next. Humble store steam keys as a last resort.
