Maybe this make in-game purchase easier to implement?
Hardly a good then.

How does web monetization works?
Is it relevant in a world were game developers can monetize their games by selling them? Which is the best kind of monetization.

The 30% is only for game bought on steam. Valve gives dev key generator so they can sell how much keys they want without the need to pay a cut to Valve.

Sega/Creative Assembly is a studio that help make steam what it is now by making mandatory for people wanting to play Total War to install and launch steam. Their community is part of the steam community because people were not allowed to play their games outside of steam. That is what Epic is buying with their very generous offer (Epic is buying copies of Total War Troy to everyone who claim it on August 13, that far more money that this game would have made in its whole life. Total War Saga are considered far inferior as the main games and the period did not interest much people).

Don't think people will leave steam for that game through. I will still try to wineclaim the game because I prefer money in CA's coffer than Tecent's.

Quoting: EhvisBut the landscape is different. EEE applied to things microsoft could control in some way. The battle fought against Linux was lost long ago and the foothold that Linux has in the total market is way too big for EEE to work. Sure they can do the first E. They can try to do the second E, but it is doomed to fail because it won't find significant adoption. Which means the third one is out of the question.

How it is lost? Microsoft still has monopoly in the personal computer market and a very sizeable part of the server market. (Don't underestimate Windows Server, None of the top 100 website use it but it still widely used thanks to lobbying in the schools of system administration). Microsoft Office is one of the most used software in the world (not on Linux) and there is lobbying from Microsoft not to make available some pro software on Linux (like Catia, Solidworks or Abacus).

It's very Microsoft-like. A huge amount of marketing and communication and no act. Microsoft love Linux is still waiting to some gesture stronger than open sourcing a calculator or the addition in the kernel of something that was done in userspace. Hopefully, everyone will embrace Vulkan and DirectX will go down in the trash can of computer history.

Not a situation any game developer wants to be in,

Well, some do it deliberately, more so on Linux than on other platform.
