Dusk: Unpopular opinion: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly

    As a user and not a developer, idgaf. Steam gives me features, EGS doesn’t.

      What does your preference have to do with whether or not Valve is fair?

      Developers are people too, do their opinion not count or something?

        Which of these features do you actually use and why wouldn’t you want the devs to make more money so they can produce more games that you, as a user, can play?

        In case the question wasn’t targeted at them specifically: Play games on Linux and making sure the actual monopoly of Windows gets broken. Parts of Valve’s revenue goes into open source development, meaning that in the end more developers get paid: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Valve-Upstream-Everything-OSS

        If game developers think the cut is too high, I’d be thrilled to see them distribute their games directly through Flathub: https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/submission/
