So I really hate epic. And the Ai BS. And this moron. But I have an unpopular opinion on steam/valve.
I will say, a couple friends are game devs and they have a very negative outlook on the 30% cut. One told me that there's something like 80 games a month added to steam and that most have a 1-5% success rate. In other words, most of these game developers are being milked by steam(punny coffee joke). So rough math aside, between the steam cut, taxes--I don't know if the steam cut is taxed, overhead; then splitting up pay and likely getting taxed on that, you're basically making pennies. Bantering for Valve is like bantering for Google. Think of it this way, you go to work get paid but 30% of your paycheck is taken but you get nothing out of it. And you're told worship your employer, just like you should worship amazon and walmart.
