      I follow people when I find their posts insightful and not overly voluminous. Among avid posters, why would one assume supporters of the Epic Games store have different motives than detractors?

      These are all just people who have different opinions than you. I read all Tweets that @ me and try to reply to substantive original questions about the Epic Games store because the issues of competition and revenue sharing are vital for the future of gaming on all platforms.

      We launched Fortnite on Android outside of Google Play last year. We have a store on PC now so our efforts are focusing on PC. Microsoft has spoken and acted in support of PC as an open, multi-store platform.

      What about Sony and Apple? I don't hear you complaining about their revenue split. I hear it's the same 30% as everywhere else.

      I’ve publicly advocated for iOS to be open to store competition and direct software installation. That’s a much more vital issue for a general computing platform than revenue split, as being closed prevents meaningful economic competition. So that covers PC, Mac, iOS, Android.

      Regarding consoles, these are single-purpose devices with a business model that’s built around hardware sold at or below cost and subsidized by software sales, so considerations of revenue sharing are quite different than a device like PC.

          From devs/pubs perspective a platforms business model should be irrelevant. On their side it's still the standard 70/30 share they get. If Steam's rev share is hurting them, as you claim, then Sony's/MS's/Nintendo's should do just like that. Interesting you're up to defend them!

          that's what epic defender doesn't understand, all them say "exclusivity in consoles doesn't bother so why on pc it does", consoles are selling hardware so exclusivity attracts users, the ones who passed on to PC gaming were trying to avoid exclusivity, until you appeared

          and no, PC isn't "missing those games" since there are people working on emulators, not perfect alternative but it works, also some games are being ported to PC, and i wonder those who said there aren't more features to deliver, how would they defend epic now steam labs appeared

          And consoles also have paid subscription services which offer features PC users get for free, like online multiplayer and cloud saves. Steam on top of that has cloud storage for screenshots and artwork. Epic Store doesn't have cloud saves nor storage though.

          Wrong, as both xbox 1 and ps4 sell above at their cost per unit, so yeah, their revenue split is also bad if you think of it as that way
