That was the main argument for the Epic Games store. They told devs that they can keep the first million dollars earned and then they will only take 12%. The problem was they kept paying devs to be “Epic Exclusive” causing a lot of resentment.
Also, blocked games from being released on GOG too.
It was important to me to give players what they wanted: options. A lot of people requested that DARQ be made available on GOG. I was happy to work with GOG to bring the game to their platform. I wish the Epic Store would allow indie games to be sold there non-exclusively, as they do with larger, still unreleased games (Cyberpunk 2077), so players can enjoy what they want: a choice.
