Why does a better cut matter when they cut sales by 99% by being a malware-tier dumpster fire of a platform no one is stupid enough to use? 88% of 1% as many copies is a huge loss of value.

Steam does more to earn their 30% than Epic does to earn even 1%. And games earn far, far more revenue on Steam than the Epic Store.
