What about freeware games? I don't think anyone would even consider paying a 100$ just to release a game they're not going to have any income whatsoever from.

I have spent a fair bit more than that on my mods, so you would be surprised

Again, with a 100 dollar fee, Valve is almost certainly losing money on administrative costs with each submission.  From the perspective of free games, it's a very small price to pay for basically having an unlimited downloading portal with built-in automatic updates and community portals.  This is something that one has to pay significantly more than $100 per month to possess, otherwise.

Compared to resources it takes to make a game that is good enough that people would want to purchase it on Steam $100 is a ridiculously small amount. I think the fee should be far higher as $100 won't do enough to guarantee quality.
