Good to see Epic attempting to break up Valve's monopoly.

Hopefully Steam lowers their cut, which is too high.

This is actually not the best way to go about that. It would have been different if this happened prior to taking pre-orders on the game. But, there is nothing good about doing this with less than 3 weeks to go prior to launch. It has received rightful backlash.

Never mind Epic's Store not being ready for primetime:

• No Cloud saves
• FPS counter
• Offline Mode
• Screenshots
• Universal controller support

And those are just off the top of my head. 

And Steam already has adjusted their cuts, especially in favor of AAA games. It needs more adjustment, but they are already being pro-active. 

Honestly, the Tweets from the parent company THQ Nordic makes me believe this is nothing more than a deal, not a righteous endeavor for fairer cuts (though that needs to be addressed too).
