I mean that’s good for developers I suppose but I’m still not going to be buying from Epic.
It is still Epic Games, therefore I will continue my streak to not buy from them and claim all the free games without playing them.
This might make more devs consider putting things up on EGS, but unless they are sold for 30% less on average than everyone else (or lock in to be an exclusive), this means fuck all to the consumer.
Unless the consumer has principles and wants to give more money to the people that are the most like them, i.e. the devs, instead of giving it to a billionaire.
In my case Valve definitely deserves a cut, as I’m only buying the game because steam makes it really easy to play it on linux.
Their work on drivers and proton is what makes me buy the games, because if I have to tinker just to play on my preferred OS, I’ll tinker with pirated versions instead.They could afford to do all of that and take a smaller cut if Gaben didn’t collect yachts.
This is good for indie devs, but don’t get it twisted, this is about attracting major publishers to the platform.
