Valve could reduce their cut honestly, perhaps some program for independent developers to help them get on their feet. I don't think the top games or big publishers should be getting cut reductions.

Either way, Valve haven't been buying out studios for exclusive games, so Epic and Sweeney can go fuck themselves, they are scum.

The reason big studios get better rate is because they have leverage. Just as Amazon has leverage against apple in app store

Its based off revenue, obviously more revenue made overall gives Valve more money with less cut than small revenue at a larger cut.
