If they’re making record profits why did they decide to come to steam?

I think their player numbers have dropped and they’re trying to boost them.

It seems most likely to me that it’s prep for the rest of the Microsoft deal so they can claim to regulators they aren’t using their ever-growing control to choke out other platforms. Same reason they’re making those promises about Call of Duty on Switch.

Steam takes 30%. If they thought they could drive people to their standalone launcher they would be doing that

I don’t think that is correct; Steam usually takes 30%, but I thought some of the larger publishers negotiated different (secret) rates.
