The 30% cut was industry standard for digital distribution for years. Google, Apple, and numerous other players all took 30% as standard.

That being said, Steam hasn't taken a flat 30% for years now - their standard agreement starts at 30%, decreases to 25% after the first $10m in sales, then decreases further to 20% after $50m.

Furthermore, Valve has done more in terms of providing services, APIs/libraries, and end-user features (all with no additional fee to the developers or consumers) than any other game storefront has. I'd say they more than justify their cut.

Yeah, interesting, I don't have that email. I guess I'll find out if my subscription rate increases in December!

Hmm, what was the subject of that email? I don't see one like that, but I want to be sure.

The damage to the road based on vehicle weight is exponential, though. A very heavy electric car causes very little additional wear to the roads when compared to a traditional car.

Telegram does have E2EE, just not in regular chats. Its secret chats are E2EE, as are its voice and video calls.

I also think it has the best UI of any of the messengers, personally. It's customizable and very polished overall, at least on Android. Very smooth/optimized while having loads of features and lots of little animations to make things flow nicely without getting in the way.

I do like Signal and Matrix clients as well, though I just wish Matrix had more of a user base.
