I’m not saying the 30% fee is fair, but every single company charges 30% except Epic and the Microsoft PC store which north charge 12%.
I am pretty sure they only do in attempt to attract devs. Once Epic were to get a majority position in the market they would quickly raise it to 30% too. None of these companies are “good guys” or actually care about the end consumer.
And both of those are terrible
More like Tim Weenie.
they charge what they do because it works for everyone steam has more users and does more for them so it costs more to maintain everything which is fine for devs because people actually buy things on steam
the only time anyone ever talks about epic is to shit on them ,talk about the current free game there giving away and .... well thats it at least in my experience
What everyone else is saying, but god do I hate the fortnite art style.
Says the guy that won't support Linux. Fuck the completely off.
Suck me off, epic
Switch to Gog :)
