Uh, yeah actually: Valve is legendary for taking care of their own people

I'm asking about the developers, not the workers. That's good to hear though.

Then maybe you should complain about the game company that employs those developers, not valve...?

I'm not sure why you're so angry and I don't think you understand that I'm asking developers who have sold through them for their experiences. For example, Google lets your games be offered up for free the moment they're put up and limits your exposure on their search page. Apple limits your exposure as well. I was wondering how Steam treats their developers because they were sued for being bad in the EU and if it's a consistent thing.

I'm not sure how you figure that I'm "so angry", I thought my reply was pretty calm. All I'm pointing out is that valve treats their own employees very well, and that if you have an issue with how developers working for other companies are treated / paid, your beef lies with those companies.

Hell valve doesn't even charge their cut on steam key sales on other storefronts even though activating the key / downloading the game still uses steam infrastructure.

Valve... employs devs? Who are you referring to???

See my other comments, lol. I don't think you understand how this works.

You clearly have no idea wtf you're talking about, but you're telling other people you "don't think you understand how this works" - it's the sort of thing you'd see on r/selfawarewolves

Riiiiiiight, which is why you're explaining it so eloquently.
