      between the epic store fallout and this recent, gleefully reported story about the respawn developers, we need to be prepared for executives to turn steam forums and subreddits and discords against their own studios in the face of union pressure

      I'm the asshole for asking ppl to use thier gd brain,we all want competition but egs ain't it. The entire thing is a scam and morons are eating it up washed down with fortnite coin. Steam has issues sure but scummy business practices and underhanded media manipulation ain't one.

      The developers aren't the competition, though. Some random indie dev team isn't competing with Valve. Valve needs competition that is ethical, otherwise Valve will learn that becoming less ethical is an effective strategy. It's consumers & devs vs. publishers & storefronts.

      One problem with that meandering diatribe...Valve and CD Projekt have 1 thing that is increasingly rare these days...Integrity.

      The games industry is just as rife with shady shit as any, but if an indie dev can get a cash injection to finish their passion project in exchage for limited exclusivity, I would hardly call it unethical.

      The entire conversation over revenue split is full of shit. Valve charges 0% on any keys sold outside of Steam and requires nothing in regards to exclusives or key generation. Nobody ever mentions that...doesnt fit the narrative of the gigantic hypocrite @TimSweeneyEpic

      That’s true, and Epic also charges 0% for Epic Games store game keys sold through other stores, and 0% for games sold through Humble’s new direct purchasing integration.

          Little question about this new integration because I know that I will at a moment of another having an EGS games. Will be there an option to just ask a Steam key instead of EGS key if the exclusivity deal is over ?

          Developers and publishers are free to sell non-exclusive games through Humble as Steam keys, as Epic Games store direct purchases, or support both.

          Given your thin margins that means you're charging upfront through wholesale payments and then taking a 0% revenue split. There's no way you could absorb the losses on EGS keys externally otherwise.

          The cost of bandwidth we provide for free games and games sold through digital resellers aren’t significant relative to the revenue we make from games we do sell.

          Then why we can't get a Steam key instead? Why the game is being paid to be exclusive to one launcher? Player shouldn't have choice to choose which launcher is best suit for them?

          You can just wait until the exclusivity agreement ends and buy it wherever you want. This isn't a serious problem.
