The Epic First Run programme allows developers of any size to claim 100% of revenue if they agree to make their game exclusive on the Epic Games Store for six months.

After the six months are up, the game will revert to the standard Epic Games Store revenue split of 88% for the developer and 12% for Epic Games.

Yep, I used to pick up the free games, then realized I’d never play any of them because I expressly do not want to deal with the EGS launcher.

It sucks, because it really is better for the devs, but steam is just so much better

    it really is better for the devs

    This is said a lot but... Is it really? And if so why should I, the customer, care?

    I can't think of any other good or service in my life that I would go out of my way to buy from an alternative store so that the manufacturer makes more money. I don't choose between Aldi and Whole Foods based on whether the manufacturer of my chicken bullion cubes makes more margin with one or the other. It's just fuckin weird.
