You could be thinking of cuts for physical games. I think those are 10-12% to Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft? The retail store takes ~20-30% too though, and there are costs of producing and shipping those games, which means developers still get a bigger cut from digital sales on PC than they do from physical sales on console (or digital sales on console).

Someone also posted earlier asking about how much money Valve makes - Epic recently announced that they make about 5% profits on games sold on their store, from their 12% cut. So I would assume Steam makes at least 23% profits from their 30% cut, probably more. Epic likely makes lower profits than Steam because they're throwing so much money at their store right now.
