      That 22% decline is based on Superdata report, sure EGS is not only factor , but their strategy is one of many reason of falling and that's not good for PC market as whole.

      The salient point has to be that you have proven using exclusivity works regardless of your underlying strategy or opposition by plp like me. By doing that you have made it a very enticing endeavor to all the other companies out there with billions to burn. (Amazon, Apple etc).

      I genuinely welcome more profit for devs & healthy competition for Valve. However, by proving exclusivity works we could see the PC gaming landscape carved up in the future by hundreds of stores, each doing what you are doing now but with poor service & monthly subs (ie Netflix)

      It's a pity Tim that you didn't give us a chance, because right at the start I & many other PC gamers were cheering you on. But by taking our choice away (no matter how noble ur motives) you've shown ur customers so much disrespect I don't see most gamers voluntarily using EGS 😑

      I'm always wondering from where the idea that non-exclusive strategies can beat steam dominance in pc game store. Can you show me a real example where a new store tumble the bigger store dominance just with store quality/features? No exclusive content or product involved.

      And how ends all that exclusive store attempts to beat Steam dominance? Origin? MS Store? Big exclusive games , low store quality. How big was their break steam dominance? ;-)

      The impact is quite big actually. They did not break steam dominance, but they managed to make steam reduce its revenue share up to 20% based on sales. I'm sure if 50% of 3rd party games move to epic, the impact will be more massive.

      Tier cut wasn't reaction on Epic Store announced a month later. Tier revenue based cut is reaction to make store more interesting and rewarding for big and successful publishers / developers.

      Perhaps it was a coincidence that after 15 years of 30% for all, Valve change their terms a few weeks before Epic launched. In any case, “interesting and rewarding” is quite a spin on taxing poor developers at a higher rate than big publishers!

          Poor developers? You don't really have any moral ground to stand on after telling the dev for DARQ that they either went exclusive or could not sell their game on your store. You are using popular games as leverage and simultaneously damaging the very platform to claim to helppic.twitter.com/j6O49Z1sCk

          And maybe that was a reaction on longer problem with big publishers trying to substitute Steam with their own platform. Fallout 76 was catalyst, because Bethesda games was biggest in numbers on Steam, not the EGS.

          + It's also funny how Ubisoft after partnering with Epic, their game quality dropped so much it felt like they stopped carrying. Really good example The division 2 and Breakpoint. That cash infusion from Epic, just makes devs stop giving shit about their games.

          Perhaps it was a reaction to the Discord store making them rethink. Though it doesn't surprise me in the slightest that you'd imply EGS deserves credit.

          Lets talk taxes. Taxes pay for a a lot of stuff IRL. So tax itself isn't a dirty word. You get paid subsidies for keeping Epic where its at for example. That is paid for with taxes.
