>Steam has the same game simply listed as TBD
Why? Reaction to censorship or does Epic just take a smaller cut? Combined with (((Valve)))'s big censorship push we might finally see Steam die.

They charge 12% but steam takes 30%. Simple math tells you what one is better.

Steam's audience size matters a lot more than the cut, that's why everyone focuses on them and most do so exclusively
A higher cut only means something if Epic starts picking up market share to be relevant. An example: 1000 copies of a 10$ sold at 70% vs 200 sold at 88%, Most would prefer the former, Epic really needs to use all the muscle and name recognition they have if they want to do something

They pretty much do own them; the only person who has a larger share than them is the founder supposedly. They might as well be de facto owners or co-owners. They can't be ignored at 40%, basically whatever they say goes
5a3365 No.15839946

They are certainly one of the top shareholders, owning 40% of Epic Games. Giving money to Epic has Tencent make money as well, and thats too much of a problem.
ec7669 No.15839947
>>15839942
40% is more than I thought, though at least it isn't outright ownership. I still hold that competition is better than a monopoly though.

Tencent is monopolizing all of vidya and reaching far into western industries beyond vidya. It's one of the most insidious corps on earth, maybe the most since it's insectile and able to dodge some legalities because of that.

"Rightist" was pretty much "everyone I don't like" at that time like "racist" is used now, the chinks used it to murder a lot of "intellectuals" that were pretty leftist but not the government-approved kind of leftist.

Try it yourself, it has on DRM and the online still works apparently. However it was so bad I deleted it in 5 minutes. Awful art style and atmosphere, no stat adjustment at character creation, grating voice acting, and the worst part, big open empty areas with a tiny as fuck stamina bar. Hope you like boring walking.
