So Epic have said that if Steam gives developers an 80% profit cut they will stop swallowing up exclusive deals.

Now why am I not inclined to believe that.

It honestly reads like Tim Sweeney is intentionally trying to make a deal that sounds hostile to Steam so that when Steam declines he can use their refusal as a cassus belli to declare open war on steam.

It's either that or they spent way more money than they anticipated buying up exclusivity rights and he's trying to extend an olive branch to save themelvset.

Epic's war chest is financed entirely by Fortnite and those investors looking for big returns on development gambles. And the Fortnite money might as well be blood money for how rough it is on the employees.

If Fortnite goes under and Epic Game Store hasn't steadied it's foothold yet it will be on to my ground for a long time.
