If you are talking about the summer sale cards it's not steam setting the price but people that are selling for this amount.

I think your maths might be a little off...

But Gabe isn't getting .14€ per card x 10 cards x 130000000 users. So yes, their maths is wrong.

Edit:
My bad I read isn't not It is.

This is just another thread to complain about no more free cards from discovery queue.

Valve doesn't take 30% per every sale. Different publishers have different splits. So you're wrong on that front, too.

They tax literally everything, what is the reason for that? They've been doing it since market was created, doesn't matter if it's 0.000000001% it's immoral

So with what are you paying employees or the severs, if you aren't allowed to make any money?

So you're saying they don't make any money off straight market transactions(none of the money ever leaves steam)before their immoral tax is taken on top of that? They make millions off of just that every year and they don't have to do ANYTHING to make it besides rely on devs pushing new content CORRECT? All they did was build an addictive platform 10+ years ago and have been milking it all the way to the bank. They've literally addicted children to lootboxes and all these immoral market transactions with virtual items.

Any new content is using server resources. That costs money and it needs to be paid for. But we can also cut down on other stuff, say download speed for users or the amount of stuff they are allowed to do on a daily basis (posts, transactions, logins etc). Though I am sure you would be among the first to complain about that.

You're not answering the question, you are defending all their immoral practices, or ignoring it which is worse.

Valve aren't a government. They're not taxing anything. They are, however, also not a charity. They are business. Businesses exist to make a profit. Valve are making their profit, as is their right as a non-NPO business.

If you don't like it, then take your money and go to another store run by a different business that is also making its profit in a similar fashion.

You are ignoring the point. If Valve is not allowed to have any kind of cut on the transactions, then they have no income to pay for running costs or even upgrades.
Though if you complain about Steam having to collect taxes from you then complain to your local government. Because they are the ones getting the tax money.

Nothing about what they do in relation to taking a % of transactions is immoral, quite literally nothing. If you ran a platform like Steam, you'd be taking a cut of all sales too, because you know you need money to keep the platform running.

Children these days seem to think that if a company has a billion dollars, they are meant to hand out everything for free.

They can't understand that a lot of money is actually being USED by the company to pay for things. Education really has gone down hill in certain countries.

THE MONEY NEVER LEAVES STEAM BEFORE THE TAX IS EVEN TAKEN WHAT DON'T YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND ABOUT THAT, that is plenty of money to pay their 11 employees and server costs plus about a billion, WHY DO YOU DEFEND THEIR IMMORAL GREED?
