CAN WE ALL PLEASE STOP MISPLACING BLAME?<br><br>You wanna blame someone for the fact you can't buy your games on Steam, don't blame the game companies or Epic, BLAME VALVE.<br><br>Valve are REFUSING to drop their revenue split to 12%. They can afford to, but that would cut their massive profit margin to less than half and they don't want to. Valve want you to stay loyal to Steam and keep making (probably) billions, but they still refuse to make Portal 3, Half-Life 3 or anything new and awesome.<br><br>Imagine you own a game that'll sell several million copies. You wanna sell the game in the store that carves 30% of your earnings or do you wanna sell it in the store that only takes 12%?<br><br>It's pretty simple maths:<br><br>Sell 1,000,000 copies at £40 each (I'm a Brit, I work in £) so that's £40M.<br><br>Sell with Steam: you keep £28M<br>Sell with Steam and use Unreal Engine: you keep £26M<br>Sell with Epic: you keep £35.2M<br><br>That's before tax ofc.<br><br>Quit blaming Epic and the game companies when the only thing keeping these games off Steam is Valve's greed.
