No wonder Gabe Newell can afford all those boats.

    Steam offers a lot more to developers than a storefront to sell your games. The App Store is an extremely minimal offering to developers for the amount of money they demand in exchange.

      What do you mean? It’s not like the App Store is all that devs get from Apple. Apple has an app dev kit and loads of APIs into the phone that they maintain.

        Sure, I’m aware. But nothing on the level of what Valve offers.
