So games sold on storefronts owned by the same publishers as the game should be 30% cheaper right? Right?

Should be cheaper, emphasis on should, but at the same time if they sell directly and take the same cut, that's one less intermediary in the chain so more money going to the devs.

None of the managerial class are good people, wake up, all billionaires are taking advantage of us.
