      You have absolutely no idea about Valve costs. And is not necessary to repeat that fairytale about your imaginations based on "similar working experience".

      We have plenty of experiencing operating these kinds of services for ourselves from 2014-now and for third parties from 2018-now. The all-in cost of operating a digital distribution service is well under 12%.

      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”.

      Destiny went to Steam, Borderlands went to Epic, and Jedi Fallen Order is on Origin, Epic, and Steam. Lots of developers and publishers are getting better store deals than previously - this is healthy competition!

          yeah, no. Destiny 2 went to Steam, borderlands 3 was offered an exclusivity deal because epic store doesn't know how to compete properly against steam and GOG other then free games and relying on their fornite players, and >>Jedi Fallen Order released on 3 stores<<healthy

          Well. Destiny 2: Bungie broke up with Activision. Developer moves to steam. BL3: 2k signs limited time exclusive deal. Gearbox has no say. So epic isn’t good for Developers. It has the same desire as publishers. They hate Developers and gamers. Just want money.

          Destiny 2 went on Steam because Bungie wanted it on Steam. Borderlands 3 went to Epic because Epic payed to get it there.
