You are a retarded woman. The only company you hurt with chargebacks is Steam, which is the only pro-customer company in the world.
Steam is not pro consumer LOL
It is the only marketplace that allows negative reviews. EGS and GoG don't have reviews at all. It has a 2 week, 2 hours played no questions asked return policy, EGS and GOG don't do that. It allows you to block entire publishers so that you never get shown their games. Tim Sweeny would have an anurysm if one of his code monkeys came to him with that idea. Steam marks all games that use GenAI in their making. EGS has stated that all games will use GenAI if they get their way. Steam has a functioning friends list, and discussion board all games, EGS doesn't. Steam Workshop makes modding games trivial.
Steam is pro consumer because they want your money and want you to be happy with their service, instead of all the hyperpredatory shit EGS does, like allow cryptogame scams.
GoG has a 30 day refund policy even for games that have been played for any length of time during those 30 days. I believe it is the most permissive refund policy for any of the digital storefronts, by far.
They also have reviews and allow honest negative ones. Disco Elysium has some gems in there with titles like 'I don't support Communists' or "Devs are Marxist - DEFUND SOCIALISTS"
Their review system is trash & frequently crashes, GOG Galaxy is also a bloated, unstable piece of shit.
30% of sale price is obscene, period.
The storefront cut has not one thing to do with the consumer.
It's standard. Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Nintendo all charge 30%. For that matter most retail has a markup of 50% to 100%.
Every successful storefront takes a similar cut. The only difference is Steam empowering consumers with open user reviews. Epic is welcome to match Steam's feature set while charging a smaller percentage, so why doesn't that happen?
That’s on the publishers, not the consumers.
Again, tell us how Steam is no pro-customer?
Like that matters to the user.
What do you call this then?

I stand corrected, GOG has reviews. In my defense, i haven't bought a game on there since Sseth reviewed MM6-7-8, which was 5 years ago.
When's the last time you used GoG? They have public reviews very clearly under every game. It's not hidden or hard to find. There are several games with nothing but negative reviews.
Dumbass. That means STEAM is the payment processor that drops them. Isn't that what you want?
Edit: I just looked it up. Steam can't possibly be the most customer friendly company in the world if they penalize you for your relationship with your banking institution. My credit union has called me to tell me they were doing a chargeback on my behalf.
The reason steam want you to use their internal system is because IT IS THE BEST WAY TO HURT A COMPANY. Not just no income, fees. Cost the company processing fees.
Meanwhile you defend the company that took that right from you like a brain dead zombie that malfunctioned.
Any company will do that in any industry, not just Steam. Chargebacks are used to get your money back if the vendor refuses to do anything. It is NOT meant to be a punitive tool.
This site attracts some of the dumbest posters on the planet.
Lawfare taught you nothing.
