FYI I'm not buying anymore steam games until they give a bigger cut to developers

[TimeTravellingAlienEsper]

I got an Epic game account. I am still playing old games on steam.

Ok bye

Bye bye

[Nx Machina]

Goodbye.

We obviously understand the real incentive is free games and you willing overlooking Epic bribing developers and customers to use their platform.

By the way is that cut for developers translated into savings for us the customers as promised by "Timmy"? NO - games are the same prices on Epic as Steam.

Note: Do not forget to come back to Steam when those Epic exclusives get here as they are half price on release and had all those bugs fixes etc during the exclusivity period or pay for them full price on Epic and wait for the bug fixes.

Ok bye. I'm a candle maker and my candles get sold at a 200% markup from wholesale. Maybe you should learn about how retail works.

Food retail stores often have biggest profit margins from the plastic bags.

Not going to use the Steam community features any longer, OP?

[Crazy Tiger]

I don't get why people concern themselves about agreements between a store and devs/pubs. It's known that a lesser cut isn't actually translated in better or cheaper games, so why o why do people care about the wallet of someone else?

Oh of course not. There are so many people who are 'boycotting steam' but keep buying games on steam and using the community features, etc. see they dont actually want the 'boycott' part of steam to actually be impactful in any way. If their boycott actually inconvenienced them in any way possible that would not fly with them. They just have this incredible delusion that not purchasing directly on team, but using literally everything else about the service means they have 'won'.

Well, I can understand wanting a smaller developer to do well and, if I knew one whose stuff I cared about was in a make-or-break situation, I’d at least care (there’s a reason Dwarf Fortress is top-of-wishlist despite being available free-for-download since forever on the dev’s site).

But why anyone thinks LANCB-esque posts are notable is more what consternates me.

Since epic, i do the same.

Did i break something?

Totally agree especially when boycott is "to refuse to buy a product or take part in an activity as a way of expressing strong disapproval".

My personal favourite is "avoid Steam, buy DRM free" and post it on the Steam forums.

Oh I want them to do well, but not buying games on a store anymore seems rather counterproductive. I mean, smaller devs often don't place their games on multiple stores, so by boycotting them you actually hinder them by not purchasing their games on said store anymore. The simple 70% of something still is more than 70% of nothing principle.

If the games are available on other storefronts, that's ok of course to buy there. But I would assume people already would buy where it's cheapest.

That said, considering that OP talks about an Epic account, it's not the small time indie devs they care about.

Epic shills are getting obvious now. I will never buy anything from those scum.
