Since 2019 then? So Sweeny is an even bigger wiener than I thought.

To be clear, that thirty percent was the going rate for stores back when Steam started - not just since 2019.

I don't know where you're getting the 15-20 percent thing.

I don't know where you're getting the 15-20 percent thing.

From articles about it I read way back in the early 2000's when the Orange Box came out.

Back in 2007 there was no other digital game store and physical publishers still are known to only take 15-20%.
