      Tim I know your current strategy is to go after exclusives to get a foothold in the PC gaming landscape but is there a scenario that would see you rethink this? There is so much bad will toward Epic right now, wouldn't it be better to grow a store on customer value and community?

      That’s a loaded question! But Epic will stay the course. 30% store dominance is the #1 problem for PC developers, publishers, and everyone who relies on those businesses for their livelihood. We’re determined to fix it and this is the one approach that will effect major change.

      You mean permanently and without major strings attached?

      If Steam committed to a permanent 88% revenue share for all developers and publishers without major strings attached, Epic would hastily organize a retreat from exclusives (while honoring our partner commitments) and consider putting our own games on Steam.

      Such a move would be a glorious moment in the history of PC gaming, and would have a sweeping impact on other platforms for generations to come. Then stores could go back to just being nice places to buy stuff, rather than the Game Developer IRS.

      There are solutions for all of the problems of high-overhead payment methods like retail cards. Epic’s approach is just one. Other stores could ask developers and publishers to agree to a rate chart with a variable revenue sharing rate per payment method.

      The key “no major strings attached” points are: games can use any online systems like friends and accounts they choose, games are free to interoperate across platforms and stores, the store doesn’t tax revenue on other stores or platforms (e.g. if you play Fortnite on iOS+PC)...

          More “no major strings attached”: if you play the game on multiple platforms, stuff you’ve bought can be available everywhere; no onerous certification requirements. Essentially, the spirit of an open platform where the store is just a place to find games and pay for stuff.

          "if you play the game on multiple platforms, stuff you’ve bought can be available everywhere" if that game is not yours, you can't do that. Ubisoft can do that(from Steam to Uplay), but it is for their own games

          So you want to make your shitty Android fortnite launcher to become a store too? You think Apple, Sony and Microsoft will let you have your half baked store on their platform? Your are just dreaming about cross platform game store.

          This actually made my day! Your demand is directly contradicted by your own actions with EGS. With your exclusives strategy consumers are forced to actually play nowhere, but at exactly at ONE storefront. This is just absurd and pathetic.

          Tim is going to keep adding conditions at his disclosure so he will never have to honor anything he says, he's just being a business man stating stuff so press keeps talking about him.

          @TimSweeneyEpic I'm sorry but your first 'point', is already available on steam as an option, thats why there're many MMO's. Second doesn't exist because of publishers demands on steam and the third one sounds like something that you made up on the spot.
