Do you feel it, Zach?
My coffee warned me about it.


The lower cut for the indies seems interesting, it may be an actual incentive for devs to jump on this especially bundled with being way more visible here compared to Steam's release schedule. Even moreso that Steam lowered their cut specifically for big titles that sell a lot which is the opposite direction.

The question is though - is the audience of Epic games interested in buying indies? It's a company angled at mainstream audience that buys one game a year - Gears, Unreal, Fortnite. I don't know if those customers want to buy some small quirky title they never heard about.

So it begins. If good indie games start releasing on Epic instead of Steam then the migration may start. Maybe.

I launch Origin, the Blizz client, Uplay and GOG directly from Steam.
