The Epic First Run programme allows developers of any size to claim 100% of revenue if they agree to make their game exclusive on the Epic Games Store for six months.

After the six months are up, the game will revert to the standard Epic Games Store revenue split of 88% for the developer and 12% for Epic Games.

Heroic Game Launcher works well enough for that. Although I do need to install MSVC shit thru Winetricks sometimes. Wish HGL did that automatically.

I mean, I’ve been able to get epic games working on my deck through the heroic launcher. I’ve still not given them one thin dime and I don’t intend to but I’ve got a fair sized collection of giveaway games that are nice to have around

Effectively no percent of the market uses Linux

That percent of the market really changes for some indie titles who have noted a substantial amount of their purchases were from Steam Decks.

Linux users are the vegans of lemmy.

I’m sure all couple hundred of you are really excited about it but you are also no percent of the market

Shit I only have epic installed to get free games I forget to play because I never use the launcher. It’s just nothing to do with who is using Linux.
