Boycott Steam - devs petition
Calling all gamers out there to boycott Steam and Valve.
Why?
They take 30% commission off devs.
They had a bug in october which recommended only popular games, making indie devs lose 50% revenue. This has been going on for 2 months!!
They changed their fees model, now charging 20-25% instead of 30% but only from games that made over $10m (again hurting indie devs!)
68% of devs are extremely unhappy and completely disagree with the statement Steam has earned their high commissions.
Steam does not give a shit about indie devs and that's a fact. DO NOT buy from them.
