    Is the CEO saying that if he could make a hit game for cost of $10 million, that he would charge per game an amount so that he could make a “fair” profit of say $5million in total? So if there were a billion users, he would aim for a sales price of less than $1 for a hit game? Come on. Everybody charges what they can. Grow up.

    Having only two app stores is outrageous. Specially Apple they make the phone, The app store, The apps in the app store, and processing payment. The congress MUST do something!

    Epic gives away free games on Thursdays of varying quality and value. It’s the only reason I have an account; the store and launcher are not nearly as good as Steam or GOG. Epic Games Store has caused frustration among PC gamers with the anti competitive practice of spending millions to have the exclusive rights to sell a number of games on PC, including high profile ones, instead of them being available on the older more popular stores Steam and GOG. For example Borderlands 3, Control and The Outer Worlds.
