On Thursday,Embracer GroupCEO Lars Wingefors said a newscheme that allows developers to claim 100% of revenueif they agree to make games exclusive to theEpic Games Storefor six monthswill provide healthy competition for Steam.
“At the end of the day, I think it’s good having competition to Steam, because it puts them on their toes to deliver their best experience,” he said.
“Obviously, we would like to pay less fees to platforms. In reality we are paying more fees to platforms than we spend on game development every year, and if you just think about that number, it’s crazy.
“So, there are margins with the platforms that I would preferably have within building more games and some more margins, but I think it’s great thatEpicis there trying to build a competitive platform.”
