I mean, it is good to keep in mind developers, always, but let's not forget that gaming is BUSINESS, everyone will be looking for their own interests and this is something that sure a lot of people forget, they are selling, you are buying, it's mere transactions (not talking about the product but about the nature of this process)
Basically this, I don't mind showing support for indie devs but in the end selling and buying games is a business and I'm going to make decisions that benefit me in the end. The change in cut for the Windows Store is a good move but I don't see it pressuring Valve to change its cut anytime soon.
I don't think we will see that much exclusivity as the system is yet to be opened, and even if it's open, it is wise to release everywhere or in as many profitable places as possible.
99% of people think the taxes are too high!
Yeah the headline is about developers thinking 30% is too much, but even a large number of them think that Epic's cut is too high. According to Tim, operating costs are about 7% so 5% is unprofitable. I don't know the magic number, and there probably isn't a magic number with all the variables in play.
My thought exactly. Or I don't know, that dude behind Garry's Mod.Valve devs
Pretty much this. I'm sure there's some sales, but didn't that CoD have like 10 players on launch?
correct again!
yeah, pretty much this .... ms have nothing to lose by lowering the cut ... but A LOT to gain if it works out
That depends on what "adapting" entails.
I had similar drops when my controller did its favorite micro-usb thing to do (quick disconnect and reconnect because the plug is shit), Nier Replicants input handling is a piece of shit apparently, you can try disabling steaminput or enabling it if it was disabled or just unplugging it and running around with mouse+keyboard for a bit to see if any of that fixes the issue, at least then you'll know if it's that problem or something else.Nier Repilcant ! 1440p High, locked to 60 fps at the driver level !
...
With regular random drops to 15 fps
Would SpecialK fix this ?
Especially when the majority of people (at least, in the US) are a few bad days or weeks away from destitution. We have no safety nets, no savings, no back up housing or food, and people with masters' degrees making less than a living wage.

My own digital storefront, charging 69% for each sale.
Maybe something cheap that fit my what money is on my wallet right now but most likely nothing
But for how long? They are building a fanbase by releasing their games on Steam now, but with the lower cut for the Windows Store, they are definitely trying to compete with Steam.
For now at least I think they're trying to attract more devs to their platform without relying on exclusivity deals, and I think they're well aware of how unpopular their store is, I think they know what would be the PC gamers reactions if they started pulling exclusivity deals like Epic.
Because you are a data nerd, JUST LIKE ME
why does there have to be a "winner" anyway? more stores (without fucking exclusives), more options = custumers win.

yeah, its bugs me how this is always left out. at least eurogamer mentioned in their article about it that steam's cut lowers to 25/20, but they left this stuff out. also, isnt steam covering processing fees whilst egs isnt doing any of that?
that is nightmare fuel
because people either ignore it when you post it or just go "bUt ThE dEvElOpErS" as if developers were going to put out a call to arms and pool money into my bank account if I ever ended up without a job.
