Valve cut their fees to 15% recently for games that sell well, and reduced the normal fee from 30% iirc. Epic Games has brought serious competition to the industry, offering a broadly used game distribution channel for a low price.
- Deimorz 8y agoNo, the normal fee is still 30%, and the reduction is only for extremely high-sales games and never goes below 20%: > 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.

The Epic store really isn't much of a competitor at all yet, the only reason it's having any impact at all is because they've been paying developers to release exclusively on the Epic store.
- nikeee 8y agoI think you underestimate Fortnite. It is a game played mostly by kids and teenagers. Often, they don't have a Steam account. So if Epic catches them, Steam won't get them.
