well that is pretty much nonsense... main goal for every publisher is profit so as long it's profitable for them, they don't care about Valve's cut... and cards are highly profitable since it's basically factitious profit generated with costs ranged from 0 to something around nothing... if they would care for Valve not getting money from them, they wouldn't choose Steam as main distributing platform and DRM, because that's where Valve gets their main cut... so this is definitely not the reason
edit: also, both Telltale Games and 2K games in fact HAVE cards for some of their games which destroys this theory completely

"Telltale Games & 2K. Never ever made a single steam card"
A telltale game with TC
A 2K game with TC
Another 2K game with TC

Yup, and there are still more like X-Com The bureau or Starships... So the statement "Telltale Games & 2K. Never ever made a single steam card" is completely invalid.

Not the publisher are doing the cards, it´s the developers choice.

With the exeption of EA, were it's most likely the publisher's choice, because they want people to switch to their own DRM/client anyway. Hmm and maybe Ubi as well? Don't think there's any Ubi/Uplay games on Steam that have cards... don't know for sure though.
