    It’s all just Epic talking points. “Lower cut means more money for developers! Lower cut means lower prices!” It’s never been proven to be true. Shit in some cases I’d much rather my money go to Valve than the developers anyway. Much rather fund Linux/Vulkan/VR development than whatever bullshit Rockstar, EA or Activision are up to.

      A lot of these people who love defending Epic also treat them as if they didn’t do anything to earn their reputation for being shitty back then.

        And they pretend Epic is the only competition to Steam. Nobody is taking shit about GOG because GOG doesn’t have shitty business practices.

          GoG did start adding shitty ads when you claim games from Amazon, maybe on purchase too I haven’t bought anything in a while.
