Would you apply those adjectives to exclusive products available on Steam, Origin, Netflix, or Amazon Prime Video though? These are all cases where a company funds all or part of the development of a product in exchange for exclusivity, to establish or grow their ecosystem.

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.

What do you think about the idea of Valve's cut technically not being "30%"? A lot of games redeemed there are bought elsewhere thanks to their own 100% key program. Apparently 20-50% in a lot of cases, meaning that of all redeemed games, Valve got ~15-24% of the sales.

Would you apply that same logic to an Epic Games store key sold through Humble, and say that Epic’s store cut is then 6% instead of 12%? Except in the case where the developer is selling keys directly and keeping 100%, I think you have to count all of the involved stores’ fees.

As a customer, I don't really care how much dev or store get. What I care is if I can buy the game on where I want. You spend money monopolizing is the best way to push people back to pirating as we can't own it on their collection of choice day one. 0% to dev thx to exclusive.

If your store selling Steam keys like Humble Store did, there will be way less complain. So I can buy it and add it to my Steam library on day one.

Epic doesn’t sell any keys anywhere. Those relationships with key sellers are maintained by developers and publishers under terms they individually negotiate.
