Discord thinks about developers, 90/10 developers split is coming to its game store in 2019
- Thread starter Rodjer

already giving up their curation lol, that sure lasted long.
Guess they want all the devs that want to but cant get on the epic store

So that competition people were angry about is already doing some good.
That's nice, should make the industry healthier all around

now if only someone were to buy from the Discord store.
It doesn't matter on the consumers end. I guess it makes people feel good?

doing good for the developers.
lets hope it does good for those non-americans too.
Devs, I'm offering a 99.9/.1% split if you put your games on the JusDoIt Store.
A few more features and i'd be happy to use the Discord store as my main store/launcher. I already use it for everything social and always have it running.
More money to developers > more types of games (i.e., games that attract a smaller audience) could be profitable > more games you may enjoy.
Oh look, another reason not to use the Epic store.
Still hard to beat Steam's 0% take, but at least other's are trying to catch up to Valve.

Expected it after the disaster that was their launch . Nobody gave a single shit about it.
Nice to see them having a better split and finally giving up curation. Might actually buy something there, as long as they stop with their timed exclusivity shit

Developers that get to keep more of the money stay open longer and make more/bigger games.
It indeed does, takes a click or two from the client to get there.
True, and they don't get enough credit for how they handle keys. But I'd be genuinely surprised if, for most developers, key sales make up enough of their total game sales to offset the amount that a 90/10 split would have earned. I don't see why Steam couldn't offer both, of course.
How low can we go?! 2019 is going to be interesting.
Wait, is Tencent an invester in Discord too?
Edit: Of course they are. Multiple rounds of financing. This reminds me of PubG vs Epic lawsuit.

It sure doesn't cost 30% to distribute games, we all know that by now. However that is pretty much all Discord and Epic games store are doing. Steam (and console platforms) on the other hand offer quite a bit more than just distribution both for developers and customers.
In any case this is good news as long as they stop buying exclusivity. If some people want to support Discord and developers by using the Discord store, by all means.

The two concepts are in no way comparable. A video game store doesn't provide essential social services. Please use a reasonable basis for discussion when you are arguing a point.
you have to put your VR headset on and raise your chin up in the air for the trickle down to take full effect.
