Given all that, why do you feel the need to engage in monopolistic practices? It really reeks. I was a huge fan of Epic Store and what you were trying to do, up until you started trying to lock people in with exclusives. It's a huge step back and not something I can support.

So if offering developers a higher cut is important to you, why not do what steam does? Steam allows developers to generate keys infinitely, that can be sold anywhere, and the developer gets 100% of the profit on that. Literally every cent.

some of them would buy the games that Are exclusive, but that doesn't help if those are the only games being bought. I just can't see any way that your store model will be sustainable when your cut prevent you from making the store itself able to compete with STEAM & Such

Mr.Sweeney I have been a PC gamer since the day I was old enough to use a mouse and keyboard. What you are doing to the ecosystem is scary and absolutely does not benefit consumers. Sure you give away games, but that’s just an excuse to run to when you get called out.
