      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.

      We support this. You’ll find various Epic Games Store games also for sale on Humble, Green Man Gaming, and more coming. Epic doesn’t take a cut of that revenue.

      I’ve never heard from a developer or publisher who WANTS keys for their games to be sold anywhere, because of the well known problems of fraudulent key resellers and grey marketers. Keyless sales integration is a much better approach.

      Yes, all developers and publishers distributing games in retail and Epic Games Store are free to include EGS keys in their retail boxes, with Epic collecting no fee for those sales.

      There are two different cases key: keys in retail (a standard and uncontroversial practice that Epic supports) and key distribution online by super shady brokers that often are fronts for fraud groups.

      You're mistaking key distribution models. @TimSweeneyEpic stated that no developer wants to have keys to sell "anywhere" on a digital platform. Most keys on sites like g2g are auto-generated by using Steam's algorithm or scammed by refunding post-key collection.

      Ah I see how my use of “anywhere” was confusing. I meant developers don’t want keys to be sold everywhere on the web by companies they don’t have a relationship with. They are generally happy to work with key resellers they trust, and are happy with keys at retail.

          "They are generally happy to work with key resellers they trust, and are happy with keys at retail." So allow the developers themselves to choose who they find trustworthy? Rather than having a strict, curated list.

          The curated list is simply the list of vendors that they've onboarded and completed an integration with - allowing for keyless purchases from different storefronts outside of the Epic Games Store. Which requires work on EG's and the other storefront's sides, I would think.

          Right. Have to be cautious in how you approach generalized terms when dealing with criticism. 🤔 But having the team do an analysis of your current partners would determine market compatibility with the suggestions made in this thread.
