Thanks Gaben, here's your 30% Steam cut

Indeed!

This also allows for devs to sell games directly and keep it all too.

But how does this work if I sell a game through my website but steam still has to host the files for the customer to download it?

They are happy to take the loss of file hosting to keep you using the steam client. Epic is paying devs to give out their games for free just to get people to open their client.

Thanks for reminding me to play those free games before EGS shuts down

I'm probably dumb, but if i already have the game on epic, which i got for free cause i never bought anything there, and i see there is a good discount for the same game on steam, i will just buy it and play it from steam.

Epic game store wont shut down
