If Epic deserves a 12% cut of a Windows game sold through their store (despite not having paid the costs associated with developing and maintaining Windows) how large a cut should you get when you did incur the additional costs of creating and maintaining the platform?
- oblio 10mo agoThe cut should definitely not such that your profit margin for the service is a multiple of your costs.
- GeekyBear 10mo agoSo where does 12% fall when you provide nothing but optional DRM, hosting and payment processing? Does Microsoft earn their 30% cut on Xbox since they do provide the OS, hardware development and gaming APIs?
- bigyabai 10mo ago> So where does 12% fall Wherever competing services drive it. If Epic can charge 90% margins while remaining attractive to users, more power to them. > Does Microsoft earn their 30% cut on Xbox It's an irrelevant comparison. No serious person can accuse Microsoft of having a gaming monopoly.
