My birthday is next week. I want to celebrate alone. Ideas on how, please.
My birthday was last week and I did the same!
I chatted with a bunch of friends and family on the phone (it's nice to hear someone else's voice!), then I baked a pan of brownies and ordered a bunch of thai food. I took a walk, read for a bit, played video games, watched anime, and just took it easy :)
So that's what I'd recommend!

Steam vs. Epic Games
Anyone fighting to lower the 30% cut is good in my book - nothing Steam provides has justified that cut for ages. It can only get away with 30% because of its massive userbase.
The game marketplace has changed over the last 10 years. Indie games have gotten more polish and there's more of them, curation tools are non-existent at best, and games press is noticeably less effective at generating sales. Even streamers aren't a good way to market anymore, as most streamers have vastly narrowed their focus to a few core games.
So, simply putting your game on Steam doesn't mean much anymore - it's easy to do, but it won't get you any sales on its own. You need a marketing campaign and new ways to reach potential fans. With that in mind, Steam doesn't justify its price point, as they provide no innate marketing - they're just host and sell. Any store you can get fans to buy from is a win, and I hope to see more competition for Steam and see their cut drop in upcoming years. Them maintaining a near-monopoly won't be good for developers or players.
