15% fee is still too high...

Awhoo sounds like a great idea, and I personally HATE Steam's 30% fee for what little they have to offer (this 30% is based on the cut a physical store, with store employees and leases, charged for games). However, 15% is still a bit high in my opinion. Even Epic offers 12%. 10% is more sensible, with 8% looking far better.

You can always make taxes and card fees a separate charge.

Ahwoo has to make some money somehow. Right now even if Ahwoo was taking 99%, they would still have a long ways to go to be profitable off of just KSA. Maybe even with a small handful of other titles. Epic can offer 12% because of the Fortnite / Unreal coffers. I doubt they depend on EGS cuts to be profitable as a company in any significant capacity.

Ahwoo has employees and expenses like any other business. Maybe somewhere down the road the split could be reevaluated, or even dynamic on a case-by-case basis (92/8 - 85/15 or something), depending on where the platform stands. I'm sure the team will be willing to look over all the options if and when the opportunity presents itself.

We're early!
