MODERATORS
If an actual competitor arises sure, but why support scummy anti-consumer practices?
Fair point, I guess I was ready to disregard it because of the money going to devs and epic already taking less of a cut then valve. Exclusives do suck.
Valve do take a larger cut, but that money is going into some incredible services both for consumers and developers with Steamworks. Much larger audience too, which makes up for the larger cut anyway.
Epic just want a slice of the revenue while putting in minimal effort, so they just buy exclusives and free game promos, so as far as I am concerned they can fuck off.
