GOG on the other hand barely does okay now with such a large overhead, and I don't see them being able to make it if they try to match that split if it becomes the new industry standard (which is a strong possibility), at-least not with how GOG currently operates which tends to be outdated.Įpic Games is actually being very smart with this. Valve has the resources and ability to match Epic Games (ie 88/12 spit, with 88% going to dev/pub) if it comes down to that and to really modernize Steam (which it as not done due to lack of competition and due to pure laziness).

If developers start to prioritize Epic Games Store (and it already starting to happen with or without financial backing from Epic even at this early stage) it will hurt both Valve and GOG. So I can see sales on the Epic Games Store being far better than what GOG could achieve when compared to Steam. There is already a massive amount of interest from developers who see Epic succeeding as a win for them (even if it means lower payout due to a lower user base in the short term, long term is far more attractive with Epic), and Epic has far more consumer interest and a larger user base (due to Fortnight) than GOG. I think Valve should be concerned and I think GOG should be down right worried right now. Considering there isn't a lot of games on it yet, a lot of features like a wishlist are unnecessary at this point.īut Epic Games has a lot of resources and developers, so I suspect the Epic Games Store will progress far faster than GOG has with for example Galaxy. It's not even really open yet to devs (only to those Epic has made a deal with privately). Epic Games seems to be opening it up now as more of a soft launch with it gaining more features and games in 2019. There are some features it defiantly needs eventually, but I think overall it's more modern looking that both Galaxy and Steam right now. I made one too, overall I don't think it's that's bad.

I only made an account to anticipate The Pathless and Rebel Galaxy Outlaw and to get a chance to play a PC version of Journey.

There isn't even anyway to wishlist a game. Maybe it's just growing pains because it's a brand new service, but talk about bare bones. Pmcollectorboy: I'm already not impressed.
