![]() ![]() So that's the biggest problem, exclusives, that are epic's attempt to FORCE people to use their platform if the game they want to play is an exclusive. A large portion do receive offers that include minimum sales, further royalty reductions and straight up cash incentives to release on epic. That said, people have the misconception that game companies are releasing on epic purely for the reduction in royalties this isn't true for all of them. 30% is rough but again, nobody forces you to release exclusively on steam and developers should have the choice. Not only the size of the audience, steam offers a bunch of tools such as server browsing, voice comms, cloud saving etc that I don't believe epic has. When Fortnite fully dies off, it wouldn't surprise me if they dropped by half. BUT, those are not all actively buying from them I would wager from anecdotal observations that a huge portion of that 85m only use epic for the massive amount of free games they have released to coax people to user it and fortnite. Epic on the other hand reached 85,000,000 and requests just 12% royalties. Last year, steam had 90,000,000 active monthly users. Yes, it's true that steam take 30% royalties to launch on their platform, but you need to look at the audience you have access to. It's a terrible practice that has left a shadow on the industry. The biggest problem is that Epic are buying exclusivity rights to try force people to use them. First off, people claiming steam users are toxic or that they are just stubborn really cannot see past the end of their own noses.
