Former Valve Employee Says Steam Was Killing PC Gaming, Epic Games Is Saving It

 

 

<기사에 의하면>

 

 

·전 Valve 종업원 Richard Geldreich씨가, 최근 논쟁이 되고 있는 PC게임 Steam과 Epic Games Store에 대해서 언급했다

·Geldreich씨는 2009년에서 2014년까지 Valve에서 일하고 있었지만, Epic Games Store를 지지한다

·'Steam은 PC게임을 못쓰게 만들고 있었다. 업계 전체적으로 세금 30%를 부과하고 있어, 옹호할 수 없었다. Steam이 Valve에 있어서 얼마나 벌이가 많은 것이었는가, 당신에게는 예상도 못할 것이다. Steam은 가상 인쇄 장치이었다. 회사전체를 비뚤어졌다. Epic은 모든 게이머를 위해서 고치고 있어요'

·Geldreich씨는 Steam ”세금”은 옹호 못한다고, 개발자와 게이머 양쪽을 소모시키고 있다고 강조했다

·Steam에서 게임을 전송했을 때 이익 배분은, 개발자측이 70%, Steam은 30%. 한편, Epic Games Store 배분은 개발자측이 88%, Epic이 12%

 

 

·또, Geldreich씨는 Valve 직장에 대해서 'Valve 내부정치는 ”냉혹” 동시에 ”자기조직화”하고 있다'고 이야기했다

Steam was killing PC gaming. It was a 30% tax on an entire industry. It was unsustainable. You have no idea how profitable Steam was for Valve. It was a virtual printing press. It distorted the entire company. Epic is fixing this for all gamers.
