Sweeney is such a strange fellow. On one hand, lowering store cut is nice for developers, and possibly for gamers (developers having more money can result in more/better games).
On the other, instead of investing all of his manpower into making EGS awesome place to buy games at...
he antagonizes the entire PC gamer community by buying up artificially moneyhatted exclusivities...while offering zero added value with the store/launcher itself, whose development is progressing at utterly pathetic, glacial pace.
He could have been an awesome addition to PC gaming, and even new place to unseat Steam. Instead, he just loses money, people pick up moneyhatted free games, and...go back to Steam, which offers actual value.
It's bizzare to me that it is Galyonkin (Steamspy) of all people that runs EGS in this dumb manner.
