Epic gave away nearly 600 million games in 2024, and it's 'not slowing down' for 2025 (www.pcgamer.com)

I never realized it before but you're right, in my country the games are 50% cheaper on the Epic Store than they are in Steam!

Exact same regional pricing in my country, no idea what you guys are talking about

I'm in a small Caribbean island, the steam price has always been the same price as the US price, which is very expensive compared to the average salary on the island.

So basically no regional pricing for us in the Caribbean.

On the other hand the epic store does have regional pricing for us more in line with the average salary which make the games 50% cheaper than steam.

Here is the steam price for Rimworld Steam price for Rimworld: $34.99

Here is the Epic Game price for Rimworld Epic game price for Rimworld: $14.39

I checked other games and it's similar.

Edit: I wish I was wrong because I'm only playing in Linux so I would really prefer buying games from Steam but now I'm seriously considering buying the games from the Epic Store, it sucks.
