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.

      You guys work for valve of something? I point out falsehood and hypocrisy, you guys attack a product based on bullshit, who’s more likely to work for one of the two exactly?

      But I remember you guys…

      Back in 2003 you guys were pissed at Valve for releasing Steam and you said it would kill PC gaming. I was there to see people you doing exactly that. Valve made Steam necessary to play Half-Life 2, remember that? Oh man you guys were mad…

      But now? Steam is the best thing ever! Can’t have enough can you? If they had a monopoly that would be even better! Heck, they had one for years and you didn’t mind the fact that games were de facto exclusives for a long ass time! Valve just didn’t have to sign a contract to confirm it!

        I was actually on board with Steam since the inception. I grew up in the sticks; being able to buy my games online and download them super easily was fucking dope since I could not easily find many in stores.

        It’s not so dope now. If that’s the only thing you have to offer: Why the fuck would I use it? Because you gnab shit and hold it hostage specifically so I will use you inferior platform?
