the_importer: Is this true, are they taking a 30% cut?
Yes, it's true. And that's one of the things that's handicapping GOG, as they don't do enough, from a devs' POV, to justify the 30% cut.
Here's an easy and great way how GOG would no longer have to take 30%: stop paying people to 'curate' games. That's a useless expense and 'curation' only makes the site worse, not better. And it doesn't stop bad games from coming to GOG either.
BreOl72: Edit: in case you miss it: "
With an increasing share paid to developers, our cut gets smaller."
That quoted statement is sheer nonsense though, as what it
actually means is extremely ambiguous & unclear. You seem to be implying that GOG no longer takes 30%. But GOG didn't actually that. Granted, the statement you quoted could theoretically be misinterpreted to cause one think that they no longer take 30%; such potential confusion is perhaps the very reason why GOG worded it so cryptically.
