I’m not saying the 30% fee is fair, but every single company charges 30% except Epic and the Microsoft PC store which north charge 12%.

    I am pretty sure they only do in attempt to attract devs. Once Epic were to get a majority position in the market they would quickly raise it to 30% too. None of these companies are “good guys” or actually care about the end consumer.

    I want to say that Valve actually does. I don't know if they do or not, but.... Something about saying Valve is the bad guy here feels incredibly fucking sus.
