I have expressed no want. The user I was originally responding to appears to want cross play not through Epic.
Are you misunderstanding me on purpose?

The post:
Space Marine 2’s Epic Games client on Steam is for crossplay, confirms publisher
The comment I’m replying to:
Then make the Epic version include Steam instead of vice-versa
My comment: I don’t think that’s possible because I don’t think Steam offers their services/a mini-client in the way you’re proposing.
Yeah, but, the argument here was about including some sort of Steam client with the EGS version of the game. And I’m saying I don’t think Steam offers a “stripped-down” client like Epic, EA, Ubisoft and others do.
Games launching from Steam wasn’t the point here. It was about games launching from Epic (or any non-Steam store for that matter).
Correct. But what was proposed here was a game outside of Steam using Steam’s services, which I believe isn’t a thing.
But does Steam offer a “mini-launcher” to be used on other platforms?
Maybe they do, but if so I’ve never heard of it.
(Which isn’t me defending Epic, just wondering if it is at all feasible)
Funny that this releases so soon after Frost’s video about Nick’s lies.
Most sane take in this whole thread.
Some of y’all get a little conspiratorial.
There were too few submissions for the Best Nintendo Switch category this year. The award committee, therefore, decided to cancel the category.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That’s a really cool building system.
Ah, like so. I thought you were referring to the article on the Patreon website with your initial comment, rather than the article in the post itself.
You’re right, the article is wrong. “Gross revenue” makes no sense.
Which is contradictory to the first line of the linked essay.
Is it though?
Current sign-ups are likely through Patreons own payment system, which will stay as it is. It would be like signing up in the web version, then going on to use the iOS app. That wouldn’t suddenly subtract 30% from a payment Apple has no control over.
It makes, say, Amazon links not a three-page bookwork
What do you mean to imply?
A system to filter out copy-pasted meme reviews seems useful.
I think the Halo show could’ve been much more interesting too if they focused on someone not the main character of the games.
But no, gotta keep the most recognizable character
The announcement is spoiled by Embracer having closed the studio that made the original.
Not to mention the reviews, community hubs, workshop, video streaming and recording, controller support, cloud saves, family sharing.
30% may be a lot, but it’s not like they’re just sitting on it.
EA and Ubisoft don’t offer (most of) those features with their launchers where they do get the full proceeds.
This game’s story was an unexpected treat
Depending on your definition “pay to skip” = “pay to win”.
The post is about the Steam version of Space Marine 2 shipping with Epic services. This was done for cross play.
The initial comment I replied to was about “why don’t they ship Steam services with the Epic version instead.”
I’m saying that Steam services don’t exist in such a way (to my knowledge).
