      It's only 251$mil from third party sales :/ (251$mil includes their 23 million dollars spent on coupon-discounts towards said third parties; Epic would have a cut of around 30, minus 23, minus costs, marketing deals, partnerships...) Neat numbers if nothing else though.

      I think they want to continue having great developer relations and offer more and more services. The Engine is the core of the company which the store nicely complements in my opinion. The days of ludicrous money for distribution is going to end.

      Anyway, going beyond the dubious nature of Epic's business actions - I agree to an extent that the days of "ludicrous money for distribution" is going to end. Not that it hasn't been slowly ending in the case of Valve by their own accord for years if you dig into the stats.

      Google, Apple, Sony, MS & Nintendo remain the persistent outliers though; neither putting as high a percentage of their cut back into the platforms & their discoverability nor giving devs anywhere near as much power for aforementioned sizable cut. & I sadly doubt that'll change.

      I’m more optimistic that we’ll see positive changes on smartphone platforms in 2020. We’ll see!

          I wish I shared your optimism, Tim. (Or well, I currently don't have a horse in the race of Smartphone platforms, but they're the platforms least deserving of a 30% cut at this point in time. Their terrible discoverability & over-crowding, hell, flooding, is ridiculous)

          If you take Steam when assetflips & troll games were at their worst, but then multiply by a hundred & reduce discoverability by tenfold you have... Google Play. Big yikes, really.
