I am finally in a good financial position and I was going to buy one of the very expensive supporter packs. It’s fine that EHG got rid of those, but unless they add an online store to their website, I won’t be buying anything from steam unless they release a paid expansion and I “need” to buy it.
External link →There are content creators which have a Nexus store. If you buy LE from them, you get a steam key just like normal but they get all of steam's cut. So we get the same amount regardless of where you get it.
The services that steam provides us is well worth the cut they take. Steam has saved us an immense amount of time and we couldn't have got this far without them (or another service like it).
Can you give any more detail on the services they provide? Obviously, they are a sales and marketing platform, but I wondered if they support you in other ways
The short version is release and play testing tools, along with unbelievably fast patching servers. If you've ever tried to make a good quality version of these tools, it's very costly. Then on top of that you end up paying per gb of downloads. We used to have a stand alone patcher. Eventually we would have ended up losing money on the sales that didn't use steam.
