      You haven’t created a service which people login to and browse for hours and have discussions on etc. You have a glorified launcher with a shop tacked on. You can’t compare the two. Sure if you were at the scale of steam you may find it’s below 15% or 20% etc.

      But valves business model is service delivery and keeping everybody angry with lack of HL3. Your business model is micro transactions and licensing your game engine then blackmailing the publishers to use your platform to absorb the costs.

      blackmailing? really? Why not come out and say you have no valid argument at all, instead of making up some kind of BS accusation like that? Got to love how the anti-egs people have no valid arguments so they go with the conspiracy angle of Epic committing all kinds of crimes

      Lol conspiracy. If epic didn’t go around stealing and bribing for exclusives and actually tried to play in the same field as the other players I wouldn’t have an issue. But they decided to play dirty. Epic is like the old Microsoft.

      Blackmail is an illegal act, you are accusing them of doing blackmail. Epic didn't steal anything either, the dev/pubs voluntarily put their games only on EGS. There is no bribing because it is a legal business transaction. Stop making false accusations of Epic breaking the law.

      The verbs truthfully describing Epic’s partnerships with developers and publishers are: offering, paying, and exclusively selling. The folks using the terms blackmailing, bribing, and stealing are manipulative and dishonest.

      If one wants to hate Epic and the way we’re changing PC game distribution, it’s perfectly fine to do that based on the actual facts. It doesn’t require descending into this bizarre edge lord alternate reality where Epic financially supporting developers is “bribery”.

      It's the same thing that almost ruined the Xbox brand at the launch of Xbox One. Microsoft wanted to force always online, removing our choice. You are buying exclusives, also removing our choice. MS reversed their decision and gave us the choice back.

      Today Microsoft is competing with Sony by releasing good game, services and features. Not buying exclusives and removing our choices.

      Epic isn’t exerting some sort of power of compulsion to secure exclusives. Each one is a mutually agreed and mutually beneficial choice made together by Epic and the game’s developer or publisher. We want unique games and they want a better deal than 30%.

      If we didn’t pursue exclusives, I feel we’d be failing at our basic mission of changing store economics to benefit developers. There’s a long history of alternative stores that tried for years and never gained more than 1% marketshare.

          Because ultimately it’s about the games. An indie store selling the same stuff as a store with 90% market share but with slightly different features doesn’t have a chance.

          Has anyone else adopted the revenue split? If no, you haven't changed anything. It's been a year. Its more like you wanted into a new market before Fortnite wains. Instead of a nice and competitive product, you try to shoehorn your way in.

          You use the revenue split to try and make yourself look or feel like some hero for trying to change things and paint others as villains for using a industry standard. If you had any real faith in this "mission", you wouldn't need exclusives to try and force people into EGS.
