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.

Fuck Epic and any store who tries to remove games from others.

Developers, or their MBA publishers? I HIGHLY doubt developers beyond indie studios benefit from this.

I don't have a problem with Epic offering this. The problem is with publishers that take this offer. Bunch of greedy bastards.

Any game that signs a deal with epic like this goes on my boycott list.

Actually a compelling deal for developers, wonder how many indie / AA developers will go for that instead of steam

I've heard that a lot of games have been a loss due to releasing on Epic as an early exclusive, as the first few months are critical.
