If the distribution and visibility that you get out of Steam was anything even remotely approaching being worth the 30% cut that they take, then I wouldn't need a publisher.

For what you do get, Steam should be taking, like... 10%.

Steam takes a publisher's cut without doing publisher shit. Tell me how that makes sense.

So, like, when I hear "you don't need a publisher", I'm like... Well, I don't have a marketing budget, and hashtagged posts full of screenshots on microblogging sites can only go so far, so... yeah, if I want this to be a career instead of a hobby that pays for lunch every once in a while, I actually do.
