Tim Sweeney said Alan Wake II isn't going to be on Steam 🫡

Also, imagine that someone emailed CEO of Epic Games to tell him he hates his store. And Tim is not a fan of Steam as you may have noticed!

A few weeks ago Rockstar announced a free upgrade for the PC version of GTA V with much higher system requirements, FSR3/DLSS3, and Ray Tracing for lighting, reflections, and shadows. And the loading times are nearly instant on SSDs thanks to DirectStorage support.

So now it's available on Steam, on Rockstar Games Social Club launcher, but... NOT ON EPIC GAMES STORE! The company somehow forgot to release the new edition on EGS.

Epic Store is now free from revenue share up to $1m per year per project. Which means, the store is efficiently free for the majority of indie developers.

After $1m mark, they keep the previous 12% fee, which is still much lower than what Steam offers (30%).

In addition to that, developers will now have tools to build web stores within Epic Store and use them for in-app purchases.
