      This would make a good economic analysis. I'd attribute Steam's high marketshare to Valve being the first to release a great service, to continually improving it without major error, and to the effects of Metcalfe's law on social communities and friends graphs.

      Early users joined because digital distribution was a new convenience. Later users joined that's where the games were or that's where their friends were, and these factors are powerful and self-reinforcing.

      We're doing this to bring better distribution terms to all PC developers and build a sound business for Epic. For gamers, competition ultimately means better economics, with the 18% savings being reinvested in game development or being passed on through lower prices.

      So that’s still why with that 18% you are charging consumers for processing fees still?

      Payment processing fees are only added for high-overhead payment methods in some international territories. See https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/about … for the list. Steam does the same for some high-cost payment methods.

      UbiSoft agreed to a co-exclusive on UPlay and the Epic Games store. Epic Games seeks exclusive games in order to have a unique lineup of games so there’s another reason for gamers to come to our store.

          And yet you're preventing the competition from getting any of the latest games, by holding them hostage to your own storefront. Diligaf about "valve are free to", Valve don't want to play your crappy game, they do differently and they should. no one should play things your way

          I will not buy from the Epic Store, I like having the option of purchasing keys from other official sellers, plus I don't appreciate my data being shared without my consent.

          With respect I dont care about the exclusives. I'd bite my tongue and pay for them. (like I have done for all consoles) however what I cannot stand is the blatant scanning of my files. I dont care what you claim the benefit is. If I dont have a pop up window that
