Why is this funny? If I had the choice of either parting with 30%-20% of what I make or supporting another platform that gives me back that 30%-20% I'd support that other platform. After all Valve is a business and it doesn't make sense to accept someone dictating that they have a toll gate for your sales.

Remember that Microsoft charges 30%-20% not for the user's sake but to make money for themselves.



No, no. The decision is right, and I'd do the same. The "packing" itself, i.e. how he speaks about this, is funny. He doesn't articulate on this obvious reason.
