Epic Offers New Games Commission-Free Exclusivity

The Epic First Run Program is a new initiative from Epic Games to encourage developers and publishers to release games exclusively on the Epic Games Store. For eligible products that launch after October 16th as six-month exclusives, Epic will forego its normal 12% commission and allow the creators to collect 100% of the proceeds of all sales. New releases without preexisting exclusivity deals with the Epic Games Store are eligible. Games can even still be sold on other stores as long as they use Epic's Access Keys System. Word is: "We are currently integrated with Green Man Gaming, Fanatical, Genba Digital, Humble Bundle and more." So, to summarize:

Epic First Run is an opt-in exclusivity program that offers third-party developers 100% net revenue of user spending on eligible products in their first six months of exclusivity on the Epic Games Store. When the exclusivity period ends, the revenue share captured from user spending will revert to 88%/12%.

Remote Play, streaming from my desktop PC to the downstairs TV or Steam Deck.
Big Picture mode.
I used Remote Play Together in the past to play some same-screen co-op games like Overcooked, but since I switched from cable to wireless Internet it hasn't worked so well.
Family share to let my brother and father play (most of) the games in my library.
Global controller remapping, including for VR.
I didn't think I'd use Steam Notes, but it actually came in handy in the System Shock remake since you can't write on the map.
Not something I use, but Valve sells physical gift cards, allowing for cash-only purchases.

Thanks! I knew of some of these, but didn't really consider those I did as selling points.
