Many indie developers have voiced concerns about Steam's 30% transaction fee, arguing that it significantly impacts their earnings. This fee can be particularly challenging for smaller studios with limited resources.
While Steam provides a valuable platform for indie developers to reach a wide audience, the high fee can reduce the revenue that developers receive from each sale. This can make it difficult for indie games to generate a profit, especially for those with smaller budgets or lower sales volumes.
Some indie developers have called for a reduction in Steam's transaction fee, arguing that it would benefit both developers and players by encouraging more indie games to be released on the platform. However, Valve has not yet indicated any plans to change the fee structure.
It's important to note that while the 30% fee can be challenging for indie developers, Steam also offers many benefits, such as a large user base and a well-established platform for game distribution.
