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 don't think I've spent any money on the Epic Launcher yet but I'm happy to see them try their best. Competition is good and needed.
