I wonder what a user is worth to Steam?

They didn’t have to acquire the user themselves and now they have more eyeballs on their service. How many of these users buy a few things later and make waiving the fee worth it?

Steams not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts.

nobody claimed otherwise, only that its trivial to sidestep the 30% fee, even if you wish to remain distributed by steam.
