You mean... Giving devs money so they're guaranteed an income instead of relying solely on the success or failure of their game which can be fairly random in some cases? Or the part where they keep a share of the profit much smaller than Steam?

Not sure what part of my comment you interpreted as dissing this business practice, or what the second half of your comment is even referring to as I never mentioned profit splitting, but you keep on waffling about epic. I am sure that will fix their launcher sucking dick.

Even if you accept the premise of your argument, what percentage of games do you think is getting that deal? It's still sink or swim for the vast, vast majority of indie games in that case. I'm all for competition, I just don't like that specific business practice.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
