Steam is just a storefront, not a publisher. And traditionally Valve only publishes their own games. While Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony are more broad game publishers. Imagine Casio trying to charge the watch store for every time you look at the time in the watch you bought there. Complete bonkers.
But when Microsoft has in its store a game by Rockstar published by Take Two isn't it the same thing?
Because Valve also has several attorneys on the payroll and I imagine they're also looking into how to dodge this, or to counter Unity.
Weirdly they don't mention Steam...
