Epic does somewhere around 12% and the end user still pays the same so if you think that extra 18% would come back your way rather then going to a devs pockets? Hoo boy.

And most of the time that extra doesn't even go to the devs, the publishers keep it. So you're not even helping the devs for the most part.
