That 30% refers to something else (according to the article, 30% of PC games sold are sold on steam).

No, it's about Valve's cut. ~75% of digital PC games sold are sold on Steam.

"Valve captures 75 percent of the global market for digital PC games through its Steam store, researcher IHS Screen Digest has estimated."

And also:

"Publishers earn a gross margin of around 70% on Steam, compared with 30% via retail stores."
