In this video, I go over the Epic Store vs Steam debate. I tell you why I believe Epic is making a fatal mistake.
First let’s see why Steam is being challenged
-“70/30” This once was a fair charge in 2000’s, but recent developer surveys have noted that only 11% of them think its fair.
-Steam is overcrowded and hard to stand out
-DRM Heavy
-No Ownership and Refunds (Well Refunds now after millions in fines)
-Big Corporation that is focused on profits like all corporations
Enter Epic Store
-“88/12” Split – More money for developers?
-Barebones with very few features
-DRM Heavy
-No Ownership
-Big Corporation focused on profits
-Anti-Linux
-After Fortnite “Cash-cow” dies down… their bandwidth will decrease
Business
-Add Value
-Distinguish yourself and have a viable business plan
Alternatives
– GOG (DRM Free)
– Itch.io (Indie)
Why I still love Steam
-Linux support and contribution
-Feature Rich store
-Ease of use
Current OS
Debian KDE 10 buster .
