Comment on Gearbox founder says Epic Games Store hopes were “misplaced or overly optimistic”
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoYes, but with EGS more money goes to the company making the games. AAA games have never been more expensive to produce, and developers are shutting doors left and right. After the Vista of marketing and overhead, more of the proceeds of the game are going to the fucking download service than the people making the game.

Blame the publishers then. They set the price and they dictate the bonuses of the devs based on sales. Choosing to believe more money from the game store is actually making its way to devs instead of shareholders is naive at best.
