Do you see it being sold there?

Larian is a corporation. If they want to pay the 30% Steam tax, then let them. You don't need to protect for-profit companies from themselves; they pay people for that.

Not sold on epic because Larian wasn't interested in selling it there.

That and Epic demands at least timed exclusivity.

People actually use the Epic Fail store?

That's just wrong.

Famous Game and 30% Cut or 12% Cut and nobody cares for your Game?

Look at Dead Island 2... could be played by Millions over Millions of People but because of Epic Games Store nobody cares to be real.
This Kills the Hype for Games and so the 12% Cut makes less Money as the 30% cut from Steam.

And honestly, most Epic exclusives end up being garbage anyway. I always see it as a massive red flag when any dev goes Epic exclusive.

The epic store sucks lol. XD

People acting like 30% doesn't get you anything.

Marketing on the biggest game platform.
Front page advertising on release you absolutely bet.
A massive, tested technical solution for distribution of your game.
Easy payment management through Steams payment portal.

Like sure they take a cut but damn what you get for that 30% is literally, saving you money.

also, a notable part of epic's "customers" is only there for the free games.

The best thing about epic exclusives is by the time they come to steam they're on sale already. The few games I did care about that went that route I got on sale some year and a half later for pennies on the dollar. So yea, epic is excellent for developers and their bottom line...
Have they ever introduced game ratings, reviews, and forums? or do epic minions still have to go to Steam to get help with their games?

truuuue if even that. or forknife/fall guys lol.

Also, the 12% on EPIC in no way translate to cheaper game prices.
The games cost just as much on EPIC as on Steam.
So the publisher makes a larger profit, thats fine but really not beneficial to the consumer at all.

The cut also gets lowered as your game sells more and more, all the way down to 20%.
