The Epic First Run programme allows developers of any size to claim 100% of revenue if they agree to make their game exclusive on the Epic Games Store for six months.
After the six months are up, the game will revert to the standard Epic Games Store revenue split of 88% for the developer and 12% for Epic Games.
Just because the competition fucking sucks ass doesn’t mean the best one has a monopoly. 🤦♂️ There is still competition… It’s just weak as shit.
Maybe if the competition stepped up and offered similar services and functions, they wouldn’t need to pull bullshit like Epic is with exclusivity deals, and actually take some market share.
GOG Galaxy is a decent one. It actually offers a lot of what makes Steam so strong. It’s still not as good, but they also deal with a certain niche area of gaming, making even their store more relevant than EGS, Origin, etc.
