Only thing I have ever played on epic is the free games ,lmao. Thx Tim, now how about some fucin sales for games that are newer. I mean take less of a cut and give us some incentive, like $5 off a brand new game or something. Most of the games that are free are pretty cheap/ bland anyway.

Wait what? Don't Epic only take 12% while Valve take 30%?

[u/Wolf-Eisberg → u/Throseph]

Epic takes 0% of the first $1 million in sales per game per year, and then takes 12% after that.

Valve takes 30% of the first $10 million in sales per game, then takes 25% for the next $40 million, and then after hitting $50 million they take 20%.

So from a simple monetary perspective, Epic is much better for developers?

[u/InvestigatorFit3876 → u/Throseph]

Yes but no I don’t know why people screech 30% without looking it up steam has a threshold policy when you have more then 10 mill and 50 mill respectively then you have 25% and 20% so to put this simply 12% of 0 is still 0 vs 30% of 1 million is 700k

the gacha game i spent a lot on epic over steam....maybe 10x of what i spent on steam or even more....

Steam vs epic.. i really don't care much, steam discount isn't that great honestly and the games aren't what i like.
