      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.

      For interested readers, here's what I actually said on the topic:https://twitter.com/TimSweeneyEpic/status/1091025939109199879 …

      Epic adds a payment processing fee to the high-overhead international payment methods marked with asterisks in the hyperlinked chart above because it’s the only practicable way to operate a 12% fee store in those developing countries. Why Valve takes 30% everywhere I do not know.

      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.

      For more context, high-overhead payments aren’t a structural feature of developing economies. China’s AliPay, TenPay, and Union Pay all demonstrate better-than-credit-card levels of efficiency in a country with $12,000/year average income in 2018.

          By covering reasonable payment processing fees (up to 8%) and passing on costs for high-overhead payment methods, Epic is encouraging customers to adopt efficient payment methods, and encouraging payment companies to operate more efficiency as their costs are no longer hidden.
