Okay, if that's true then just don't put the game on steam and don't pay a 30% cut. Hell, put the game on steam and then also sell it for less money on your own website to try to funnel sales there. There's literally nothing stopping any of that.

Devs use Steam because it kicks ass and it's well worth the cut.

Nope, you can't sell it for less outside of steam, you have to agree to price it the same before they let your game on steam
