Epic Games Store is offering developers 100% of revenue for six months of exclusivity
The move is designed to make more titles Epic Games Store exclusive…
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.

Actually a compelling deal for developers, wonder how many indie / AA developers will go for that instead of steam
This is literally just a souped up version of their original market share scheme. It didn't work out for most devs before, why would it now? Epic is just trying to corner the market with these exclusive deals but nobody gives a fuck about epic besides a free game sometimes.
I'd rather pay on Steam than get it for free on Epic tbh
Naw bro free is always better. Besides devs got paid anyways. This is a stupid take when cost of living is exponentially increasing.
I said I'd rather pay on Steam than to play it for free on Epic. I never said not buying it is not a possibility.
I also have a little thing called "disposable income", so I can afford games if I really want to.
This seems like a worse deal than what Epic's been offering though. Haven't they been giving lump sum payments to developers to go exclusive with their store for a set time?
That was my understanding. I don't know how Fortnite is doing, but I thought perhaps they are running out of money when they announced this new "thing".
