The Epic First Run programme allows developers of any size to claim 100% of revenue if they agree to make their game exclusive on the Epic Games Store for six months.

After the six months are up, the game will revert to the standard Epic Games Store revenue split of 88% for the developer and 12% for Epic Games.

Waiting 6 months means you will find out if the game was any good anyways

Found lot of the big titles that go to epic have been terribly unoptimized too at launch requiring fixes anyways, and I don't want to pay more to be a beta tester. I don't want to pay more for early access for a game that will be a better experience for customers who buy it much later.
