Man it's a shame the Epic store sucks so so bad. I'd love to give developers a bigger cut. Steam is amazing but taking a 30% cut is a bit insane.
Still, having to struggle with the Epic launcher.. oof. GOG's isn't great either but it beats the hell out of Epic still.
Sure, but this just gives the publisher a bigger cut, developers and gamers will see absolutely no difference, as usual.
Developers do care about this. Investment on software is fleeing the market like crazy. Unless Valve has decided to go back to financing games, developers are desperate for publishers to get some cash flow these days.
