The Epic First Run programme allows developers of any size to claim 100% of revenue if they agree to make their game exclusive on the Epic Games Store for six months.

After the six months are up, the game will revert to the standard Epic Games Store revenue split of 88% for the developer and 12% for Epic Games.

Valve has won me over with Steam Deck too. It's more stream lined to install a game and get going on Linux compared to the setup for other launchers. Maybe other competitors should pay attention to Linux more. If they are supposedly for open platforms then why not actually invest in making the experience better on Linux as opposed to being so stubborn in only supporting the windows ecosystem. You'd think Epic would jump on it with how they've constantly complained about Apple's ecosystem and Android even though that at least allows side loading.

Epic complain because it doesnt benefit them. If they were the one with a large ecosystem, you bet it would be closed down as much as possible. Fuck Epic games, shitty company.
