[QUOTE="Taleweaver, post: 8637433, member: 237261"] Why am I not surprised to see that this thread is 6 pages long? :P Now...I can't deny the OP statement: it is certainly a strange and controversial move. An alternative store isn't exactly breaking much new ground. And compared to the influence their engine had (and still has) on the gaming community, it's a weird time as well. It's somewhat like celebrating a fireman who singlehandedly rescued dozens of people from a burning building...and some years later gets a celebration after putting out a barbecue fire (and putting it out in a worse fashion than the neighbor fireman at that). :unsure: Okay...seen from the industry's perspective, I have no doubt that "8% lower tax margins for developers compared to steam" matters a great deal more than to consumers, but still...if I build a virtual store that only charges 1% of the profits, I doubt I'll get an award for it, for the simple reason that for the money I would gain, I can never compete in terms of quality. And that's where epic's currently at: they charge less, but as such can offer less quality to consumers. Oh, and...does this news mean that epic is [I]nominated[/I], or is it leaked early that they're going to win it at E3? The way it's framed, it's as if it was already announced they are going to get it. But that confirmation would make the whole award ceremony kind of useless. :unsure: [/QUOTE]
