Valve also takes increasingly smaller cuts as your game sells more, down to 20% in the most extreme cases. ...which basically only affects AAA devs. You have to sell millions of copies for that to matter. Honestly, Valve taking a measure like that only pissed me off more. It's the indie devs that are barely scraping by, not the massive publishers that sell millions of copies. Xiahou Shake posted... I think Epic really pulled a Mad Men and focused on one specific, undeniable area/statistic that got a lot of people talking while actively trying to avoid all other comparisons/conversation. Well yeah, because they suck by most other measures. A lot of indie game companies can't even get their games on Epic because of their stupid rules. But I (and others in the industry) really want Valve to decrease the cut they take. It'd make a huge difference to us. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. <cite>Mac Arrowny posted [p:923319464] in Can someon...
