So you just confirmed my point.
You need to look at it from developer's point of view, not the one offering the games.
Steam/GOG/Origin as offerers (?) of developed games obviously get enough money from sales because they don't develop games. The finances allocated to service are minimum of what developers need to allocate for developing game.
And after they develop it, they immediately need to sell it underpriced? Not sure if developers would love that.
Yea- No. Developers get just as much money as Valve does from steam and steam sales. If they weren't making a lot of money from it then why would they sell games on Steam? And the developers have to consent to a game being on a steam sale as Sgt.Dustmop already pointed out. Aside from competition with PC games you don't have to pay for packaging when it comes to physical copies of a game. And you don't need a developer's kit like you do with console games which brings up the price even further among other fees. So developing games on PC is a lot cheaper, so games on the PC obviously will cost less. The games aren't "Underpriced," the price is perfectly fair for the amount of money spent.
And, both Valve and EA are developers.
