GoG is not bad (for me) but I used steam for years so I buy games there. Did you know their launcher is, according to some people, made with unreal engine? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Ooh okay! I thought was something bad, sorry.
Yeah, it has:
- Proton
- Steam input that’s plug and play most of the times
- Forums
- Workshop
- Community
- Cloud sync & backup
- The whole social-ish part (useful or not up to people)
- more
30% is a fair cut but not all get that
OK? I wonder how many of them you played and how many are there ¯_(ツ)_/¯ eh don’t care
I don’t get if it’s a negative comment or not (apologies) but for what you listed, I think 30% is fair
True! Like the 30% is lower after a certain % is passed
The problem is: Epic is shit and does nothing. What does it has more than steam? Free games? Eh can get them for free anyway without a launcher sooo without the games, what does it has?
True. Not praising steam as the god digital store on PC because it has its own problems but it saved me from 🏴☠️ and now I do it for devs that deserve it (Looking at you Sony and PSN requirement) or as demo damn I wish more games had a demo
Steam’s 30% cut on each purchase has been criticized over the years, especially with Steam’s market share being too large for many developers to ignore.
With all what they offer, 30% IMO is fair. It gets lower when you reach a certain amount too
Steam’s position in the market is a functional monopoly, but there have been challengers. The greatest example is the Epic Games Store, which started as just the launcher for Fortnite, then became a full-blown store in 2019 for third-party games. The Epic Games Store was light on features at first, and still doesn’t have many of the community-centric features in Steam, but it has a Steamworks-like multiplayer framework and other core functionality. Epic also doesn’t take as much money from game developers as Steam’s 30% cut.
Epic a challenger? LMAO “The greatest example is the Epic Games Store” yeah sure, they have nothing, quite literally.
Yeah sure bud. 99.8% of epic users
