      How so? Surely competition between stores is healthy, especially when it results in significant savings for developers (30% vs 12%), which can then be reinvested in future games or passed on to gamers.

      The race to the bottom we’re combatting is the trend of stores and user acquisition platforms (like paid store ads, Facebook, and Google) consuming a large and growing portion of game revenue, leaving developers with ever less.

      We try to make fun games and share the tools and tech we build so we can help other game developers succeed. We started serving developers with Unreal Engine in 1996, and now also provide online services and a store.

      Tim, Epic has done a LOT of good. But you are turning down the dark path that so many before you have done. Show the community that you actually give a damn about them, and not just their money. Don't turn into the next EA.

      Oh gosh no. I mean, if we were taking 30% and paying for exclusives, sure, we’d be yet another bunch of greedy biz goons. But we’re introducing dramatically better terms and are doing all that’s necessary to gain traction and bring devs permanent gains.

      Online services, cross-platform features, a free game every two weeks, and exclusives are all necessities for achieving a critical mass. (There are other necessities, and we’re working on those over time.)

          Y’all have every right to flame Epic for the inconvenience of multiple storefronts. We’re prepared to take it, because we believe it would be MUCH worse for the industry if Epic fails to gain traction, leaving developers and gamers stuck paying this 30% store tax forever.

          Gain traction by being better. No dividing. But in the end, it's all about the money, like always. Doesn't matter if users doesn't like it, as long as the money keep rolling in.

          I and most others would love to see more competition for steam and a healthier PC environment. I just think last-minute exclusivity deals are a overtly underhanded tactic. I'm okay waiting a year to play Metro Exodus, but it's still a kick in the teeth.

          Hell, I might buy it on Epic, but I think the store needs some work and some of your practices need to be reexamined and tweaked before I'm willing to buy games from epic. I want you all to do great and compete with the best. Just don't forget the people who play the games.

          Should've hit the ground running with most of the other necessities available too.

          Yeah because exclusivity worked so well for Microsoft and the Windows Store? You could have generated so much good will with free games and funded exclusives alone instead of paying 3rd party devs to remove their games from Steam.
