Epic Founder - App Store takes too much with 30% cut. UE4 Market to lower theirs?

@. Your experience as a Content Provider is way greater than my own. From my own consumer perspective, I assume Content Providers agree to the Epic Terms. From that point forward, my only concern is whether or not your product solves my problem after I acquire it. BTW, I love your Sci-Fi products and they’re one of few I would trust distributed in other than UMP. However, I discovered your products through the UMP and my trust carries over doe the trust established with your work in the UMP.

I simply don’t look in other distribution Channels for UE4 Products. I prefer shop for UE4 Products from the UE4 Store, as I assume the Content Providers understand my needs. However, I have occasionally purchased products for UE4 not in UMP from content providers would have established trust in the Unreal Community. The most important part in that instance, is that they provided me a link to them. I would chalk that up to good conversational marketing.

@Maximum-Dev I’m not voting against a lower %, just stating that its a upfront fixed value, we can compensate for, by incorporating it into my retail pricepoint. That missing slice is transferred to the consumer. I would anticipate other Content Providers are already doing so.

In regards to 5% royalty, well, you have to complete, produce, commercially distribute, and generate a profit. If one can get that far, they are doing fantastic. But there many Gamer Devs that use UE4 to develop non-commercial games.

I appreciate your thoughts on this subject, particularly as it concerns other online stores. Thanks for sharing. =)
