Most fair? 🤔 Epic’s cut on the sale is lower than Valve’s…
As a user and not a developer, idgaf. Steam gives me features, EGS doesn’t.
Which of these features do you actually use and why wouldn’t you want the devs to make more money so they can produce more games that you, as a user, can play?

In case the question wasn’t targeted at them specifically: Play games on Linux and making sure the actual monopoly of Windows gets broken. Parts of Valve’s revenue goes into open source development, meaning that in the end more developers get paid: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Valve-Upstream-Everything-OSS
If game developers think the cut is too high, I’d be thrilled to see them distribute their games directly through Flathub: https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/submission/
Only because EGS is trying to take market share, not because of the goodness of their own hearts.
So what? That’s also the only reason valve supports Linux.
And thereby fighting the Windows monopoly.
Until we have proof that they increase their share of the profit when they reach a certain market share then that’s pure speculation on your part.
