Upcoming Free Epic Games
The Epic Games store has polarized gamers since the service launched last. This divide specifically comes from the store's habit of buying off popular upcoming titles to exclusively sell them on the Epic Games store, rather than going to Steam, Origin, GOG, or any number of digital game marketplaces. Epic Games store exclusivity isn't conistent, either. Some are timed, staying exclusive between six months and a year. Others are set to be exclusive indefinitely.To obtain these exclusives, Epic entices developers with extra payment upfront and by offering developers a larger revenue cut. Steam takes a 30 percent cut of revenue, while Epic Games' store takes a comparatively modest 12 percent.Epic's CEO, Tim Sweeney, has stated that if Steam ever matches Epic's universal revenue cut with 'no major strings attached,' the Epic Games Store would immediately release most titles from their exclusivity contracts,.
All and all, that sounds like a win-win. Gamers get more games available universally, and developers are able to make more money off their hard work. If Steam does match Epic's revenue cut, what titles would they gain?
