It definitely does matter. Some games effectively pay Valve about 15%, which basically nullifies Sweeneys whining since it's roughly the same they'd pay on the Epic store.

You're right about Steam being the dominant game store, but the narrative around it is all wrong. Steam offers far more functionality for their cut than any other competitor could even come close to.
