Why can't they just lower the cut?

It's hard coded into Steam and Valve doesn't know how to do things anymore

It's a really fun game. Stop being a faggot.

Except if Steam had a decent userbase like Steam drones hype up, then 90% going to the devs would easily entice them.

Hell I'd say even 15% would be good enough

>Valve lowers the cut
>Epic keeps paying publishers to make games exclusive to the Epic Game Store

Wow user you really solved the problem there!

no dev would ever take a 90% cut over multiple million dollars of guaranteed sales

Gaben literally doesn't care

God damn, he's gettin old

30% is the industry standard. Pretty much every digital distribution store such as the AppStore uses it. Brick and mortar is even worse with something like 60% or so. But then suddenly Valve is the greedy company for some reason.

>But then suddenly Valve is the greedy company for some reason.

>The Switch though has seen a number of ports sell better than anticipated. Despite already being out for over three years, the Switch version of Shovel Knight sold better than any of the other versions at launch according to its developer, Yacht Club Games. Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap, Forma.8, and other games have seen similar success. SMG Studios noted in September that Death Squared sold more on the Switch in the first three days than all other platforms it released on combined, while the same thing happened to the Zelda-like exploration game Oceanhorn. And then there was SteamWorld Dig 2, Immage & Form’s action platformer that sold 10 times more on Switch than on Steam.

Epics cut is not sustainable. The only reason they are doing so it is that they are making an aggressive push into the market while Fortnite is still bringing in billions of dollars to bankroll it.

It keeps happening!

No matter what the cut is, it doesn't do a thing about the initial payoff Epic offers. 30% or 12% matters less than audience size, but both matter less than "here's a few millions if your game is exclusive for us".

Steam should just ride it out until the Fortnite fad passes, afterwards they won't be able to afford that shit anymore.

What a surprise.
How come Epic needs to spend billions on shills, when not even EA needed it?
Is it because your bosses know you are complete cancer and you need to subvert and lie in order to try to convince someone?

Why do you keep spamming several different threads shilling Epic?
Oh wait, I remember you, you are the one who actually, unironically said that you want Steam to bribe devs for exclusives.

Is it because you are an obese Epic shill who doesn't want Epic to look like the bad guy alone here, since they are the only ones cancerous enough to bring exclusivity deals to PC?

Yeah, just wanted to see what completely retarded arguments he'll try to bring up for this one.
I honestly can't say if he's being serious with these. You'd have to have like 60 IQ to believe in his arguments unironically

No, that was Quantic Dream who already mentioned they wanted to go multiplatform.
And in fact, they already said that they would release those games on Steam a year later, which means they were coming to PC anyway.
Notice how they do not bring any actual first parties, only third parties with, probably, limited contracts.

Calm down, you imbecile. The excusivity is timed. All the games epic is bragging about will come on steam a year later, so its more of a headstart by pushing everyone else back. Thats why everybody hates epic

No you don't, you are just another shill who spams threads in an attempt to convince someone to fall for your Tencent botnet.

Neither of those actually, seriously tried to compete with Steam

I'm a consumer, why would I give a single fuck about what money the devs get?
It doesn't affect me.

It's a fact that Epic is a company lead by people who have no idea about PC gaming, which is why they are the first ones to bring in exclusivity deals despite the myriad of other launchers there are out there.

Epic is, unironically, more cancerous than EA.

>actually, Epic is bringing exclusive Sony games to PC
>He actually believes this

Quantic Dream is partially owned by NetEase and outright said their games don't have to be exclusive to Sony platforms

Especially uplay, which is just ubisoft taking its ball and leaving.

And Epic is?
Unlike Uplay and Origin they don't even have their own exclusives beyond Fornite.
All they are doing is paying out of the ass to third parties to even release games on their launchers, and they are not even permanent exclusives.

They just started and they are already struggling more than Uplay and Origin ever did.

Those two are a bigger threat to Steam than Epic.

They still brought in exclusivity deals to PC, and now they are paying out the ass for obvious shilling because literally everyone hates them.

I fear the PC space getting ruined because Valve, EA and Ubisoft start doing the same retarded moves Epic is doing and start securing their own timed exclusives that they had no hand in developing, and through that having a stranglehold on the price you have to pay for the game because no third-party sellers. Fuck that shit

>Yes, it's the first time I've ever seen Steam drones in genuine fear of competition.
Probably because of the dangerous precedent Epic is bringing with their bribes.
Exclusivity deals used to be a console thing.
Why did Epic bring them to PC?
Because they have no idea about how PC gaming works.

>I'm a consumer, why would I give a single fuck about what money the devs get?
then just pirate?

Epic's practice is greatly reducing access to those who want to play the game. Games release on multiple launchers so you pick one and play them. For the most part, its steam for being less shit than the alternatives. Besides, notice how epic needs to pay publishers up front? What happens when they dont rake in those profits? Epic will suffer. This is just a pointlessly stupid gamble that pisses off the consumerbase, not achieving anything significant in the long run and setting up huge goals that absolutely have to be met. Its bullshit

If it was so good, then why do you need to shill so hard, marketeer?

Those actually interested will still buy the game - the people that actually matter - not the Johnny Comelatelies who buy the game in a Steam sale

Bought exclusivity of third-party titles on storefronts was never a thing on PC, and I'd like to avoid the space becoming more like consoles

I dont remember any third party game being bought and forced to be exclusive to one platform. Can you give some examples?

This shit is so obvious. I don't care if it's autistic shitposting for (You)s or if they're getting paid for it. These threads have been clogging up Yea Forums for weeks.

Do not quote things I haven't said.
On PC these barely happened.
Epic will ensure that they become a normal thing because Epic is a terrible company that will not develop anything more than F2P garbage and they can't build a library out of that, so they need to bribe devs in order to have something filling their store.

Then why are you complaining here like a bitch?
Oh wait, because you are an obvious marketeer.

Or they'll pirate. Or they realize they weren't THAT interested in the game, at leat not more than the other dozen interesting games that they don't have to pick up Epic cancer for.

> With that in mind, we’ve created new revenue share tiers for games that hit certain revenue levels. Starting from October 1, 2018 (i.e. revenues prior to that date are not included), when a game makes over $10 million on Steam, the revenue share for that application will adjust to 75%/25% on earnings beyond $10M. At $50 million, the revenue share will adjust to 80%/20% on earnings beyond $50M. Revenue includes game packages, DLC, in-game sales, and Community Marketplace game fees. Our hope is this change will reward the positive network effects generated by developers of big games, further aligning their interests with Steam and the community.

Piracy is a service problem. Steam reached them. Piracy dropped a ton.
Pirates pirate when the pirated alternative is a better option - not just financially, but also in convenience and support - than spending money.

You can, but you will certainly not if you give them reasons to pirate.
Having to use a terrible launcher is a reason for that.

I want to pirate because I cant afford it
Pirating a game also has disadvantages-your game build is fixed until another pirated version comes out, no bugfixes, risk of viruses from the uploader, etc. Steam made the whole thing easier and more affordable and people stopped pirating

I doubt that by now anyone would care if Valve starts with the same shit. hell, I expect them to at least add some nerw rule that, should you put your game on steam, you have to release it on the same date as on other storefronts. Buying games off Epic Store would be just fighting fire with fire tough it would be the worst outcome for the consumers.

I didn't say piracy disappeared. I said it dropped.

Backwards and negative change isn't good, and that's what epic store is.

Their approach actively harms the market by creating platform exclusivity within a platform.

No, Sekiro actually sold a fuckload.
Those who pirate these kind of games do so anyway, but Epic launcher games just give people a reason to pirate even if they were willing to buy them.
For example, I was going to buy Metro, but I pirated it when it was no longer on Steam. (And thank god I did, what a bore of a game)

So if one person pirated Sekiro you'd say it's the same as tens of thousands of people pirating it? Because that's the argument you're making here

Do you even know what that word means?

No, there are two kind of pirates, those who pirate shit anyway, and those who pirate for a reason.
I told you as much.

Releasing a game on the Epic launcher alone, for example, is an excellent reason to pirate games.

Yeah, going to a worse store is usually something people don't want to do. Shit has less features than Steam did even at its launch, let alone these days. Nobody but shills care about Epic either.

exclusivity would be nice next gen. Imagine if most games on all consoles and pc were exclusive? Gaming would be fun again. Maybe more games would actualy have splitscreen or local multiplayer since a lot of people wouldn't buy all consoles and have a gaming pc. It would also force kids to socialize. Remember having a playstation, and going to your friends house to play n64? Those were the days.

That's a non sequitur if I've ever heard one. Get lost, retard.

You should follow your own advice because it's obvious you didn't understand a word that was said, including your own.

it's from the archive

Because if there's still any pirates at all out there, then that means you can't reach pirates at all, doesn't matter if a ton of them stopped. All pirates are essentially the same person and just hate paying over anything else.

they tried to negotiate with him but he just ate them all and gave everybody else free hats and somehow became the ruler of china

If epic was offering what steam does they'd be taking 50%

I know that will never happen. This is why I will be pirating everything next gen an buy whatever I can't on a console only when needed. The state of gaming is shameful and I will have no part in supporting it. I'll probably just end up deleting most of the games anyway they're so shitty nowadays.

Lowering the cut means jackshit since ebin is straight up paying devs for guaranteed sales.

EPIC BAD
STEAM GOOD

Luckily, the trend seems to go in the other direction. Microsoft has been getting cosy with Nintendo and started putting more games on Steam. Sony allows cross-platform play in some games and recently made exclusives available for PC, even though you have to dig them out of a toilet (Epic Games Store). If Sony and Nintendo can get their heads out of their asses, we may live to see a single platform with participation by all three of them. No more console wars, no more exclusive wankery, and hopefully more money going into the games themselves.

is it true Steam doesn't get the cut if a code if sold outside of steam e.g. physical or third party store?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_fallacy
Oh look, I used it correctly. You can now close the tab in shame.

A more important question is why haven't the jannies started deleting them on site, even a retard will be able to recognize this shilling pattern

A theory has been that Epic made a deal with Hiro allowing them to shill here shamelessly without constraints. Maybe they realized the fag would simply use a VPN and try again, so mods don't bother.

Yeah, and the incoherent nonsense that followed had nothing to do with the topic at hand.

I'm pretty sure this is true. If you think about it it woulnd't make sense to sell your game on a site like GMG that takes a cut only to add Steam's cut on top. You'd make a profit of just 30% or less.

Not convinced.

It's a lot more complicated than that especially when you take into consideration of the flat structure that Valve operates under.
