Yeah, surely they can point to the Epic v Apple lawsuit and also point to the ability to install Heroic or any other launcher/software on their platform, and the judge will laugh the plaintiffs out of the courtroom.
I'm not a fan of the 30% cut, but that really is par for the course and any other company could compete with them on their own platform, unlike with Apple's iOS. So I see no basis here for a lawsuit.
I'm guessing the plaintiffs just wanted to meet Gabe and felt this was the easiest way to get a 1:1...
A developer can even sell steam legs directly from their own site and not have to pay Valve the 30% cut. (If I remember correctly.)
Did you mean steam keys or steam legs?
I would like to purchase a single steam leg, please.
I meant keys, but I must have actually been craving some steamed hams.
Yeah as long as the game is available for the same price to consumers on Steam. Most people will just buy directly from Steam, so you would have to convince your audience to buy from your site directly.
