Epic Games isn’t set on attracting players through multi-million dollar exclusivity contracts, as it would stop buying exclusives if Steam changed its revenue split.
One could argue that Steam and the Epic Games Store have had a contentious relationship for a while now, with Epic steadily building an impressive library of exclusives for its platform. But it appears that it doesn’t need to be this way, at least according to Epic founder and CEO Tim Sweeney, who says that Epic Games would stop buying exclusives if Steam would change its revenue split.
For those unfamiliar, Valve takes 30% of all revenue from game sales on Steam, a number that Epic and many developers feel is unfair. Epic, on the other hand, only takes 12%, which is a significantly smaller piece of the pie and a much sweeter deal for publishers and developers.
