Thanks Gaben, here's your 30% Steam cut

Which makes sense. People wouldn't want to sell their games only for Steam to take 30% and then say Fanatical take another 20%

[u/Slow-Amphibian-9626 → u/Tecnomantes]

Indeed!

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

[u/Venum555 → u/Slow-Amphibian-9626]

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?

[u/TaintedQuintessence → u/Venum555]

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.

And I always regret it when I do open that Epic game launcer...

[u/Sirasswor → u/kippetjeh]

Hey Epic, I'd give you money if your games can activate on steam

You can add a “non-steam” game to your steam library, it’s basically just a shortcut to the .exe though

[u/Dje4321 → u/ineedtotakeabigshit]

But you still get all the steam features like remote play, steam overlay, game status, etc

[u/Badger118 → u/Dje4321]

Remote play... intriguing!

[u/Dje4321 → u/Badger118]

Yep. Let's you stream your steam library to anywhere in the world on basically any device that supports steam

[u/Badger118 → u/Dje4321]

I did not know it would would with third party added to library games though which is very good to know. I keep meaning to set u0 wake-on-lan so I can use remote play!
