Today we’re seeing yet another media appearance by Tim Sweeney. After criticizing the platform for its lack of transparency regarding AI usage, the CEO of Epic Games is once again taking aim at Steam in a different area.
During an interview with PC Gamer, Sweeney noted that Valve is missing out on many opportunities by refusing to host free-to-play games like Fortnite, Genshin Impact, and Riot Games’ titles. He wants Steam to adopt a more open model, similar to that of Microsoft and Epic.
“They have a nice thing going on on PC, but they reach what percentage of the PC audience? You know, they don’t reach any of the Fortnite [audience], they don’t have Fortnite and Riot’s games and Genshin Impact, and many of the top games in the industry on Steam.
They’re missing out on a lot of opportunity that I think they could have if they took the more forward-looking, open view that Epic has taken, and Microsoft has taken. Microsoft Store charges 12%—really good deal. Google’s now giving all developers a better deal, and has some really cool things coming for the future.
Steam’s got a pretty sweet business—a lot of gamers love Steam—but imagine if you could have Steam on all of the platforms? What if you could have it on iPhone, what if you could have it on Android? What if they carried a lot of games?”
