- hulitu 6y agoThe prices are lower now because they are trying to make a point. When this reason will dissapear they have no reason not to raise the price again.
- ENGNR 6y agoThey do have competing products though, like other games and things. 30% of all of the money spent on devs, marketing, ops, that's a LOT of overhead just for checking some code isn't malicious
- ohgodplsno 6y agoYou do realise that Epic has been at the forefront of reducing percentage shares by publishers, right? From UE4 being made free and the initial $1 million being without fees, to EGS taking only a 12% cut (that includes the 5% fee if using UE4) which put massive pressure on Steam to drop their percentage cut too.
