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.

Is it right to guess that Humble specifically is a partner with EGS games because the Humble widget can potentially allow devs a ~95% cut if they can sell keys there?

Epic and Humble are partnering on a direct, keyless purchasing integration so developers and publishers who sell through Humble can do it even more efficiently.

There are two separate sets of relationships here: Epic and Humble are integrating our purchasing systems so that Humble purchases are recognized on Epic. However, all deals to sell games or keys are between Humble and the game’s developer or publisher, without Epic involvement.

Sorry if I was unclear. Green Man Gaming’s partnership is with 2K, not with Epic. In cases like this, Epic provides Epic Games store keys to our developer/publisher partners, and they make the keys available to their key distribution partners under terms they negotiate.

Everyone would benefit from greater transparency on store fees. While all of Epic’s distribution partnerships are based on the same 88/12 split, many other stores negotiate revenue sharing terms with specific developers and publishers which differ from their advertised terms.

And what about nontransparent exclusivity deals? Those are not part of Epic's distribution partnership?
