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.

Other posters seem to forget that competition is very important for this kind of thing.

Sure it's annoying when Epic stops games releasing in other platforms, and especially how the epic launcher and it's games do not support Linux.

But without competition, steam can continue with an insanely high cut of indie game sales, and that is NOT ok.

it's games do not support Linux.

I just use Heroic and like 90% of my epic library just works. Admittedly, still won't spend anything on epic, but then, I like Heroic more than Steam at the moment...

Heroic Game Launcher ist awesome. Use it for both, my Epic and GOG libraries.
