Discord decided to go a different direction since they didn't stand a chance at being a serious competitor anyways. They now just target the superfans to sell games to at a 10% cut.

By the way Humble only takes 15% , they take an additional 10% for charity GoG no longer takes 30%, they take lower, an negotiated price.

going by that logic, steam takes 25% if you sell 10 million, which is actually reachable by a lot of games, and 20% if you sell 50 million

WTF, we love regressive taxes now? It's like a country that taxes most folks at 30%, but gives the wealthy a special tax rate of 25%, and the ultra-wealthy a 20% tax rate...

regressive? you're the one trying a rate that IS MOST DEFINITELY NOT PROFITABLE for you and trying to get everyone to move on your store. Regressive would be 40 to 50%. 30% is the market cut and the fee that gets the market going.

Prove that 12% isn't profitable. You also don't understand what regressive tax is. 30% is the standard, but that doesn't mean it is justified. Also the market is already going, but it is going on a high tax rate that isn't even close to be needed.

oh yeah I noticed what he meant now yeah, but even then yeah we prefer regressive taxes compared to 30% to everyone I already did, I'm not gonna do there again, you read my previous tweets, because I already proved it and you didn't disprove it.

You didn't prove that 12% isn't profitable. You tried to use a tweet and make it mean something else than reality. So no, you did not prove that 12% is not profitable.

I'll just ignore what you say on this thread, as I already proved that tim admitted he can't sustain payments from 3rd world countries without making us pay extra.

And why practicable? You guys are throwing money around like people at a strip club, and you can't even do that to help out people buying from 3rd world countries? why?

We’re all for discounting games for consumers (see the Epic MegaSale), however we aren’t eager to subsidize high-overhead payment processing companies. We’re in the early days of a long-term push to economize digital payment processing around the world.
