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.

Tim Sweeney @TimSweeneyEpicReplying to @Armaros256 @Mr_Centauri and 2 othersEpic 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.

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.

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.
