The game Subway Builder https://www.subwaybuilder.com/ has brought up the question of how much value does Steam add? You can buy it direct for $30 and will be able to get it on Steam for $40 at some point soon. Steam won't let them provide keys for direct sales due to the price difference.
So is Steam providing $10 of value to me with cloud saves, unified library/launcher/updates etc? Still figuring it out.
