The amount of service developers receive for hosting their game on Steam seems underappreciated. For their 30% cut they provide content delivery, news publication, networking services (for multiplayer), forums, Steam Workshop (for hosting and sharing mods and addons), and management and trading of in-game items. Is it worth the 30% cut? That's not up to me, but at least they're not just hosting your 25mb .apk file like the Play store et al.

In a similar vein, I feel it should be up to the dev if they want to charge more for that or not.
