The Epic First Run programme allows developers of any size to claim 100% of revenue if they agree to make their game exclusive on the Epic Games Store for six months.

After the six months are up, the game will revert to the standard Epic Games Store revenue split of 88% for the developer and 12% for Epic Games.

      That percent of the market really changes for some indie titles who have noted a substantial amount of their purchases were from Steam Decks.

        Linux users are the vegans of lemmy.

        I’m sure all couple hundred of you are really excited about it but you are also no percent of the market

        Shit I only have epic installed to get free games I forget to play because I never use the launcher. It’s just nothing to do with who is using Linux.

          I don’t really give a crap what you think of linux users. But it’s not true that “no percent” uses it. Seems a little ironic that you say “nobody uses it” on one hand and also complain about the number of people who talk about it…

            The large number of people talking bout it exists pretty much just on this social media.

            Not sure why you are so personally invested, hence the vegan comment.

            The point is no one really develops with Linux in mind because the consumer base is tiny
