    Why would we? Companies want to make money. Epic taking a smaller cut isn’t a consumer benefit.

      Lower prices can “unlock” more customers/sales

        If they did then surely folks would have had lower normal prices on Epic and we’d hear them talking it up, either then or now, but overwhelmingly they don’t, because publishers don’t actually view uplay, epic, steam, etc. as different beasts.

        Its just one more spot to throw their game on and make money. Epic just lets them make a little more off the same sale.
