He charged less than others and pays better than others.
Valve also can’t take much of a lower cut on game sales because their current cut is the market average and valve would get in legal trouble for monopoly practices and unfair competition because they’re already so much more popular than the few competitors they have. What Gabe could do is give money away and be like alteuistic.
How come Epic can charge 12% then?
I believe there was some thresholds at some numbers of sales also even for steam? Like if you sold a million you pay 20% or something?

Because epic isn’t the market leader, by a large margin.
Has Epic become profitable yet? I vaguely remember the plan being for it to become profitable later, and that it was living off Fortnite money.
Steam could just charge at most 20% then though, I don’t remember what the thresholds/conditions for different costs like 30% and 18% are.
Steam takes 30% cut while e.g. Epic takes 12%.
No you don’t get in trouble for unfair competition if you don’t overcharge.
Epic dropped to try and compete. It doesn’t work the other way around.
