Epic Games is moving its entire collection of digitally-sold games away from Steam, and on to its own new store+DRM platform rivaling Steam, Origin, and UPlay. The new Epic Games Store plans not only to sell games published by Epic, but also other third-party publishers, to whom Epic is promising an 88% revenue share (keeping a 12% thin margin for handing DRM, unlimited downloads, and update patch distribution). For comparison, Steam rakes in a 30% margin. 

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    I signed up for a Epic account yesterday. I've been feeling less inclined more than ever now to use Steam for a lot of my digital purchases. Just way too many other intriguing digital store options out there now.

    What is intriguing about having 20 different clients to install and stores for games? That's not the word I'd use.

    I'm tired of this kind of crap.
     
    Get rid of steam, origin, etc...go back to full games on DVD's and patches downloaded off the internet.

    I personally don’t like it. They should be on every platform so the gamer can pick what they want to use.

    Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.

    Steam really isn't that special anymore... Mater fact, I kind of like Steam less than other options.

    Unreal Tournament 4 is free, and totally worth it
