This is the most raw deal for a developer.
Epic gets:
Free exclusivity rights
You, the developer get:
Little to no additional sales, disdain from at least one vocal minority of users that boycott/refuse to support Epic, negative PR all around.
- patmorgan23 3y agoIt's not "free" exclusively rights. Epic is paying the developer for them by offering a more favorable revenue split. Don't like the exclusive or non-exclusive offers? You don't have to publish your game with epic. You can get pretty far with steam and GoG
- jamilton 3y agoYou also get 12% more money from the sales on Epic, and some more advertising. But I agree this seems unlikely to be worth it, just being on Steam alone seems like it'd be worth more. Maybe the advertising is worth it for indie devs that can't afford much/any advertising themselves?
