There is so much backlash in this thread that I don't understand. Developers are trying to sell their game and they make the choice to move their title from a platform where 30% of their revenue goes to the distributor to a platform where 12% of their revenue goes to the distributor. It's a much more fair cut for the everyone involved to sell their game on Epic's service. Steam only gets away with that 30% because of their size and marketshare, and because 30% was the arbitrary percentage chosen for these kinds of services a long time ago. I'm all for more of my money going to the developer. It's about damn time someone like Epic came in to shake up the status quo.
Unless Epic's Launcher forces a user to endure a serious shortcoming in stability or security, I have no idea why folks are so up in arms about it. Let more devs get their fair share with a decent digital distribution platform. It's long overdue.
And screw consumer features to get that.
