Discord's paid Nitro subscription program also gives free access to dozens of games as well as other premium Discord communication features. The company has also tried to differentiate its store with the "First on Discord" program, giving prominent placement to a handful of promising indie games on the service in exchange for timed exclusivity. With tens of millions of users already turning to Discord as an online voice chat and general communication solution, the Discord Game Store has a built-in audience of users potentially interested in buying games. The coming "self-serve publishing platform" will allow developers "no matter what size, from AAA to single-person teams" to access the Discord Store and the new 90-percent revenue share. The move comes alongside a coming expansion of the Discord Games Store, which launched earlier this year with a tightly curated selection of games that now includes roughly 100 titles.
"After doing some research, we discovered that we can build amazing developer tools, run them, and give developers the majority of the revenue share." "Turns out, it does not cost 30% to distribute games in 2018," the announcement continues. "Because of this, we now see developers creating their own stores and launchers to distribute their games instead of focusing on what’s really important-making great games and cultivating amazing communities. "We talked to a lot of developers, and many of them feel that current stores are not earning their 30% of the usual 70/30 revenue share," Discord writes in the announcement. Discord has announced that it will start taking a reduced, 10-percent cut from game revenues generated on its online store starting next year, one-upping the Epic Games Store and its recently announced 12-percent cut on the Epic Games Store.
