A competitive policy against Steam, Valve's portal
This movement goes hand in hand with the royalty policy that it maintains with development studies. If Steam does not finish convincing with its initial 70% of income for developers (75% if it exceeds $ 10 million in revenue or 80% if it exceeds $ 50 million billed), from Epic Games offer by decree 88% of income for the study, so that Epic Games receives 12% in rights.
In addition, during this month of May the so-called "super offers" have been activated, whereby for the purchase of any game above 14.99 euros we can apply a discount of 10 euros just by downloading GTA 5. That is, a game 15 euros stays in 5 euros. There are more than 130 titles covered by the promotion, which will be valid until June 11. At FreeGameTips we have made a selection of Assassin’s Creed titles on offer.
