70% to 88% to 95%. By this time next year it'll be over 100% and digital stores will be giving developers all of the revenue and a bonus for each game sold.

The company also plans to let users sell their games to secondary buyers. In those deals, the publisher gets 70 percent, the gamer gets 25 percent, and RobotCache gets 5 percent. Normally, publishers get nothing from used game sales.

 

“Reselling games is huge, with the publishers getting a cut, and gamers being able to make money,” Lee Jacobson, CEO of RobotCache, said in an interview with GamesBeat. “Some users want to monetize their digital library. They can play a game for a few months and then sell it back. Then they can use it to buy more games

 

Steam is fucked unless they start giving developers more of a cut so they don't just go elsewhere.  This seems like an effort by a bunch of companies to damage Steams long standing reign as gatekeeper of PC gaming.  Devs are going to start leaving... people will become more used to the idea that games aren't coming on Steam, or have timed exclusivity elsewhere.. and then it will start falling apart.  That's if they don't change.  It seems like this is all happening to force Valve to change.

But on a serious note, since Pureis posted this in the other PC store thread; the store in the OP also plans to allow you to re-sell your games as well.
