If the percentage was the most important part, why isn't every game on Epic?

discord i believe when they sold games only took like 10% cut. turns out, thats not all it takes to sell games, and its not like no one uses discord, so you couldn't even say people were avoiding the software as it is a popular platform.

That's probably a big part of why Tim is angry

12% of 0 is still 0.

Also wouldn't be surprised if to get such a low rate requires exclusivity...

Afaik it was a deciding factor for a lot of playstation exclusives that started porting to PC.
