As much as I love Steam, Valve likes to take a bigger piece of the pie than they deserve. Thank you for asking.
You obviously don't play TF2 if you don' think the hats are a bid deal! And your totally off base with Valves cut of the profits, in fact here's what the guys from tripwire said:

Anyways, seeing as how Valve is private company, nobody knows the exact numbers, but considering how large the service has become with both big and small devs i'd say its pretty reasonable. So if you have the money, don't buy an Indie game like RO on sale, support the devs!
