"Despite the Epic Store's faults, Epic's mere 12 percent revenue cut theoretically allows for developers to invest more resources into their projects or pass the savings on to consumers (if not both)."
I absolutely cannot stand it when people are trying to twist this.
In what way is any of what is going on benefiting the customer? Are we seeing games offered at a reduced price? Are we seeing cheaper or free DLC?
The consumers are getting funneled into a box. I'm sure the Epic Game Store will get better with time like most things but to say this is good for the consumer is bonkers. Steam also needs to get their head out of the ground and offer better cuts. Both of these companies have the tools to crush one another but both aren't doing anything to help. Epic could offer cheaper games to the consumer since the Devs/Pubs are taking a better cut. Steam could throw down the hammer and closely match the the split.
Right now the only ones that are suffering are the consumers. It's already created a rift between gamers which sucks.
