- etchalon 3y agoBecause developers go where the users are. That's all that matters. Epic had to pay developers, a lot, to bootstrap the Epic store so that there were games there that mattered. And even now, with a decent selection, most PC gamers still use Steam. Because all their games are on Steam already. And every game they care about is on Steam. So Steam can charge 30% and Epic can charge 12% and nothing really changes.
