It's interesting though because if I have my game listed on Steam and then have my game listed on GOG for the same price technically the version on GOG is more expensive because they don't take a 30% cut. So developers could still list their games on both platforms and not get in trouble with valve and still make a profit from listing it on other platforms. I know uplay does take a cut but presumably they don't care to cut off their own profits.
