Epic Games Admits In Court That Its PC Store Still Isn't Profitable

  • Redditors are going to have foam in their mouth over this.

    Personally I bought games on EGS and then always ran them without any issues with Heroic, the FOSS GOG/EGS launcher that also works on steam deck. I got better deals on epic than steam in recent years (especially back when they did coupons) and the devs got a better cut as well. It's a shame to hear they're not even breaking even, I think even GOG is at least self-sustaining.

    • That's the thing, Devs usually don't get a better cut, publishers do. So unless their publisher isn't hoarding all the money (lmao) or they self-publish their games, Devs don't even get to smell that extra cut.

      • You're technically right but you know what I meant. I bought Hades on EGS with a coupon and Supergiant got more money than they'd get if I got it on Steam, and the game worked flawlessly there from early access to today as well. Everyone wins.
