Steam could take 90% and the 'gaming community' would probably defend it (and therefore developers don't want to be seen criticising the almighty Valve) Epic got a lot of hate for merely trying to compete, to weaken the Steam near-monopoly over PC game distribution. With Unity though, the outrage was over a loss of trust more than the cost of the fees themselves. And it came at a time when it seemed that the engine had been stagnating for years, after they'd made significant redundancies and cancelled the Gigaya project (their attempt to actually make a game themselves with their engine - which could have been very beneficial, creating internal pressure to fix/improve provlem areas), and while the main competition seemed to be adding exciting features at a much more rapid pace.
