• Steam is still my favorite

  First of all, that "bigger cut" comes with a lot of benefits: free updates, cloudsaves, marketplace, forum, social (like steam friends), marketplace, workshop, demos etc (you can find more here: https://partner.steamgames.com/ ), things like this cost money to maintain. Sony (and until recently Microsoft) ask for the same % and offer similar benefits. Source: about 4 years ago

• Why is Steam remote play / steam link considerably worse than alternatives?

  Parsec is a "sold" product and Moonlight is a fan based streaming centered GitHub project where Steam is offering RP/Link as a "side" offer complimentary, totally free of charge to their customers on top of huge feature set https://partner.steamgames.com/. So you expecting professional level quality from Steam even if none of the rival Game Stores offer anything that's close was unwarranted to begin with. Source: about 4 years ago

• Can you make a Steam Account for the purpose of publishing games, not developing them?

  I've published a game on Steam. In my case, it was one I developed myself, but AFAIK, there's no rule that games need to be uploaded by the developer.

• Is there a tutorial on how to post games from the Desktop version of RPG Maker to Steam?

  Yeah I didn't understand why there was so little valuable information about this when trying to upload the demo for my new game to Steam, once I finally tried myself it made more sense.

  I can't help you with crowdfunding because I have no experience with it, as for publishing a game into Steam, first step is to head to Steamworks, it's the business side of the Steam.
