      We recently shipped a major update to product pages. Much of the current effort is on features for partner game releases, such as cross-platform friends and accounts that shipped in Dauntless, and upcoming friends overlay and mod support that's coming to other games.

      Your store isn't competition. With or without features. You're just trying to buy a share of the market as opposed to actually competing to earn it.

      We all know it's not a better deal. Many regions are more expensive, some can't get games he locks behind his walled garden at all. Thanks for playing though. I'd expect nothing less than to find you here crying that people are calling Swiney on his shit.

      Many regions are also cheaper, such is the nature of regional pricing in these stores. There are times when Steam is more expensive, or when Epic is more expensive, or GOG is more expensive, and then vice versa all of that.

      Right. So to say that it's a better deal is bullshit. Every now and then in some regions it might be cheaper. Awesome. You just have to give up all features and conveniences to get it for maybe $5 cheaper. Maybe. What a deal lol.

      Also, by the way, when I was saying Epic was competiting through a better deal, I am talking about them giving a better deal to pub/devs than what Steam was offering. That is literally competition in ever sense of the word. Epic competes by offering a better deal than Steam offer

      These are two sides of the same coin. Would you pay Steam $85 for a game that costs $60 elsewhere? No? Then why expect a developer to accept $42 when Steam sells their game for $60?

          Then I tell you this; why should a customer buy a game on epic instead of steam? Shouldn't the extra cut publishers get make it so games can be cheaper? Then why are they not? Borderlands 3 isn't discounted. No new AAA games are discounted at all. What's the point of

          Bad math, you price "elsewhere" with 0 cut. Correct question is would you pay 70$ on Steam , if you will pay 60$ on EGS or 58$ on Discord Store? Considering family sharing, workshop, play together etc. answer is yes, I would buy it on Steam. But I can't in your "multistore world"

          Why would I wish to support a store that screws over indie devs when they take your deal At first it looks good but Which has the bigger user base actively buying games and not just playing fortnite Steam, so you lock indie devs from selling to large number of consumers

          Is that why indie games like WWZ ended up selling a lot better than expected while only being on Epic? Number of total users doesnt matter, but the number of users that are exposed to a game does, and Epic gives far more exposure to games than Steam does.

          It's almost 2020. What I as a consumer expect us a shopping cart, achievements, and a reasonable price. Cloud saves would be nice as well. I'm not concerned about who gets what % where. Can you meet those requirements? If not, you have no room to talk.

          Hey, friendly neighborhood Jester here, just came to say EGS does have cloud saves. And developers can have in-game achievements (which a good amount do) which in turn Epic can use the metadata to turn over to store achievements when that feature ships. That's all I have. ;)

          Because the overall number of sales will be greater? You might as well compare selling at Walmart vs selling at Kmart.

          Because biggest part of distribution is done by Steam. Network, API, Updates... I can understand finding the 30% too much if they not use all the features, but they are completely justified if you use the features that are provided.
