Steam really needs something like this. Even the first 100k would be a great start for boosting indie devs.

Instead they do the opposite and reward the big players.

Steam actually reduces their cut as you hit certain milestones. For your first $10M in sales, they take that standard 30%. Hit the $10M mark, and their cut drops to 25% for sales between $10M and $50M. Push past $50M, and Steam only takes 20%.

I think ideally the first xk should have somethong like 10% since there's still payment processing fees and such. After that have 30% then go down on huge amount of sales (to keep the big boys happy and on steam)

I can't wait to get more games on my Epic deck, oh wait it was Valve who pioneered an incredible platform that can play AAA games on a handheld running Linux and made compatibility a reality for thousands of games.

Do they officially support Linux yet? No heroic doesn't count.

They do not, and never will.

Cool

Epic Games store and Tim Sweeney are both still peices of shit.

Steam wins again by doing nothing

Because they have to, because their store is based in bribing developers for artificial exclusivity in an attempt to hurt Valve for proving that Pig Swiney was a moron a decade ago when he said PC gaming was dead.

This is all a vain attempt by a man child to get back at Gabe, and it’s abso fucking lutely a hilarious delight what an abject failure it all is.

Garbage store with no customer services struggles and burns money, because that’s what’s lazy customer fucking cash grabs should do - burn. Fuck epic, fuck Swiney, and fuck you if you defend them.

Yeah yeah, what about making the EGS program not suck for customers? An overglorified browser running on top of unreal engine, no user reviews for games...

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Cool, still fuck em though

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 1 points 4 months ago

And yet, still, they can go fuck themselves.

100% of $0 is still $0.

I'll spend my money on platforms that have proven to respect their customers.

They’re so desperate to make their store front a thing 😂

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Good for them, but until EGS starts being more pro- consumer, I'm not spending a cent there

Steam is good, but competitors can only make it even better. Worst case it doesn't change.
