Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store?
Noerknhar@feddit.org 11 hours agoThey don’t get a cut from keys, yes, but the magnitude of all this is an assumption for which I haven’t seen a credible source yet.
Without putting these amounts in perspective, “that’s a lie” is quite a bold statement.

This isn’t public data unfortunately, devs with a game on both platforms are the only ones who can tell us where they earn more. However, I did once read an article that claimed the effective cut from Steam is about half what it says on the tin IF the devs (or their publisher) put in enough effort themselves. Because that’s who decides this, Steam doesn’t have and doesn’t want any control over this.
