My goal is just to have a community where people can go and see what new game news is out for the day and comment on it.

Is this an apology for the bad performance issues of UE5?
It s a good start ngl.
What about taking a different route altogether and not be greedy? what about charging a flat fee (your costs plus some profits to run the infrastructure like yearly or monthly). What about not being evil?
There is a huge business opportunity IMO to do just that. Have a store, charge a flat fee, add whatever percentage wire transfers take (1-3%). You make money, you out-compete everyone and you are the good guy.
How are they affording this? It can't be a sustainable model, right?
Easy. On EGS most games don't sell at all, so 0% of $0 is still $0. They get most of their money from Fortnite.
At least Valve takes some of the money that they make from Steam and use it for Steam. You cant run an entire gaming platform based on developers alone, you also need to make it at least somewhat bearable for consumers.
This goes along with their 0% engine fees, only surprising thing is that this wasn’t always in place
Steam is good, but competitors can only make it even better. Worst case it doesn't change.
