      Now the Epic Games store critics are flocking here to grouse. But, fact is, the best goose games will be on EGS, while the stores they support continue to fleece developers.

      Tim: We support developers, we don't fleece them. Also Tim: Hey, there's this MEGA SALE where we discounted everything without even running it by the developers first, leading to several of them temporarily dropping their game from the store. Yea, real non-fleecing of you.

      The developers didn't lose money: Epic paid $10 for every purchase over $15 out of their own pocket.

      What epic did was just de-value those game, THE DEVELOPER themself was not happy with that. Epic destroying their marketing strategy.

      C´mon people. Epic may be making lots of mistakes, but can we still show some support so the unethical 30% goes down? It is after all true, one company gets 30% of the hard work of every dev in the world and we do nothing, except trashing the one that can change this?

      It is better for the devs and you all that this mounstrous and unethical cut goes down, so we need to support the competition until it does globally. Then, you can all go back to Steam. Meanwhile, help the devs by supporting Epic until the cut goes down.

      Please demonstrate how any given distribution fee is classifiable as "unethical", with credible sources. Then demonstrate, again with credible sources, how Epic is helping all devs with their actions. It's easy to mimic what you're told. It's harder to think for yourself.

      This isn’t exactly on the topic of ethics, but here’s what developers think of the underling 70/30% business model:https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-01-24-just-6-percent-of-devs-say-steam-earns-its-30-percent-cut-survey/ …

          And it was a slap in the face to the indie developers who need it more than the AAA do.

          I appreciate the response with independently-cited sources. I've downloaded the full report and will comb over the details to get a better picture. I do wish @_David_Fenner_ could have left the vitriolic responses out of this, however. No need for insults.

          And, yes, it's not really on the topic of ethics because the price you charge isn't an ethical discussion. Ethics comes in if you are exploiting the market in some manner, which I'm not saying is or isn't happening. I want evidence, which is entirely demonstrable.

          Literally gives no indication what the sample size was. Anyone who knows anything about stats aren't just going to be cool with having statistics thrown at them with no given sample size that could easily be made up
