Epic's new Now on Epic is trying to bring older titles to the platform, allowing studios to keep 100% of the revenue for the first 6 months.
This sounds like Epic are trying to move into Good Old Games's (GOG's) territory, but instead of the 30% revenue GOG takes, Epic will only be taking 12% after the 6 months at 0%.
The article doesn't say that Epic is going head-to-head with GOG, but Epic went after Apple for their 30% revenue from Apple Arcade sales, so going for older games (which GOG is famous for) seems like a strategic move!
On the one hand I like GOG and it has a great selection of games, but on the other hand I like the idea of studios keeping more of their revenue (nearly 20% more!).
I'm not sure what to make of this one.
