      Good morning! The split is 88/12. We fixed the bug in displaying order history that limited it to 90 days, and we now include free games in order history. All other investigated cases of missing free games turned out to be the result of accidentally having multiple accounts.

      We’ll be making further improvements to reduce duplicate account creation. Cloud Saves are live for several games and will expand soon. Other features are coming. And Fortnite is going strong. The most recent in-game event came close to its all-time peak concurrency record.

      As I’ve said many times, console hardware often sells around or below manufacturing costs and the hardware+marketing+stewardship costs are clearly subsidized by software sales, so their business model isn’t comparable to a pure store.

      Steam takes the 30% to support their games, store, modding for the community workshop, and multiple other's. Does Epic do that? No. Get that through your head Tim. Please.

      One would need an honest breakdown of the costs of providing those services in order to draw that conclusion.

      My current breakdown of the cost of digital distribution is roughly: payment processing for predominant payment methods: 2.5-3.5%; customer service 1.5%; bandwidth and hosting 1%.

      It’s true that some regions have significantly higher payment processing costs. Perhaps 30% store fees are perfectly reasonable in Sri Lanka. But they certainly aren’t reasonable in major economies where the payment processing costs are 2.5-3.5%.

          Other services like forums and wishlists take time to develop (Steam has a 15 year head start) but don’t carry significant operating costs. Perhaps a fraction of 1% in total, not 18%.

          You guys keep changing the topic to this feature or that feature, but the fundamental issue at stake should be acknowledged: 30% fees represent an enormous markup on the cost of operating a digital store in most of the game-buying world. A 300% or 500% markup of costs.
