If you're building a game, and you build it on Unreal engine, so it's handling literally all of the rendering, development tooling, animation engine, game logic engine, etc. etc. you'll pay Epic a smaller percentage than you'll pay Valve for hosting your exe file in cloud storage with some reviews and comments.

Think 5% vs 30%.

Given that they offer half the fees of Valve, it's more like 'we don't want to keep having to pay Valve 30% of our entire Revenue on every game we want to sell when we can make a profit running a store that charged half as much.

You're thinking of revenue, not profit. Profit is revenue minus costs.

Hot damn I want to see what modders do with this game.

Saber's really showing itself to be a great studio.

Lmfao, says the guy who immediately devolved the discussion to 'youre defending a pedophile', when I suggested that a world wide conspiracy might not exist.

Keep insisting that a cabal is putting you down specifically, I'm sure it's easier to accept than you just kind of sucking as a person.
