Epic Games is bringing a console war to your PC, and its target is Steam
The Epic Games Store is a very big deal
Bringing a console war mentality to PC gaming storefronts is a bold move, and it puts Valve in a defensive position while making Epic Games seem like the rare gaming mega-publisher with a strong sense of vision for the future. And it could be a profitable future for everyone involved.
Steam has almost no curation, while the Epic Games Store has a carefully selected group of games and exclusives. Steam takes 30 percent from smaller devs, while Epic Games is only taking 12 percent. Epic is ready to promote its store like a brand-new option that’s hungry for your money and attention, while Valve has never had to do so.
The new console war has begun, and it’s taking place in an unexpected location: your gaming PC.
