Steam gets all my gaming budget, as I really try to stick to Linux.

If it ain't on steam, I don't play it, and they don't get my money.

It’s sad to me that you and many others have this opinion, which is fine, but Valve takes a significant tax from small companies while gamers, a cheap demographic, complain about the price of games.

Games don’t need to be on Steam to be good.

If you want, you can stick a static page onlinr and hook up stripe, and sell steam keys yourself. Valve offers a service; a marketplace, discovery, and a merchant system. Youre more than welcome to handle that yourself and see whether that "significant tax" is worth it.
