This.

Any purchase, Valve gets 30%... unless that developer has made $X amount in purchases, then it can be reduced to as little as 20%... at least I am assuming that applies to MTs as well.

So basically a seminar answering a non-question.
Launchers or stores?...these two things are not the same.

i would say launchers, such as Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store, Battle.net

Ubisoft and Battle.net only have their own games so, there is nothing to compare there.

You can't with the information available to you as a private individual. There is far more then price for a factor such as functionality, resources, support, user base, visibility etc.

Except for Epic and Microsoft and GoG.

I might agree Steam is best because even with a higher cut than Epic, Steam's user base is so much larger. Selling 100,000 copies for 70-80% of the revenue is better selling 50,000 copies for 88% of the revenue. And that's the boat Epic find itself in. Developers might like the 12% cut. But users don't like Epic as much (yet).

Microsoft's GamePass is great though and while I haven't care about Epic I've used it quite a bit since Christmas and it's managed to pull me out of Steam's ecosystem a bit more than anything else over the last 15 years.

Yes 20-30%, you get a better share as a product owner when your product prints more money, there was an official post about it but I believe 10million generated revenue was 25%. You will eventually find it or someone will post it.

Steams partner backend has no competition, it screams freedom, full control over your products, well documented, a blank canvas for you to paint on.

They take a hefty fee.

30% seems hefty. Do you know how much Tencent cost?. 50% Now that's hefty.

We don't know what the operating costs or whatever cost steam has but you can read this. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/04/why-valve-actually-gets-less-than-30-percent-of-steam-game-sales/

Yep. Then there are the physical Steam Wallet cards. About 10% of those go to the retailer and another unknown percent goes to the company that handles most aspects of the cards.
