On Thursday, Embracer Group CEO Lars Wingefors said a new scheme that allows developers to claim 100% of revenue if they agree to make games exclusive to the Epic Games Store for six months will provide healthy competition for Steam.

“At the end of the day, I think it’s good having competition to Steam, because it puts them on their toes to deliver their best experience,” he said.

“Obviously, we would like to pay less fees to platforms. In reality we are paying more fees to platforms than we spend on game development every year, and if you just think about that number, it’s crazy.

“So, there are margins with the platforms that I would preferably have within building more games and some more margins, but I think it’s great that Epic is there trying to build a competitive platform.”
