> I'm asking if they will allow people to buy digital PC titles on EGS via direct purchase to the developer

People can already buy PC titles anywhere they like. EGS, direct purchase, steam, GOG, twitch, whatever. There's nothing to allow.

This is unrelated to them supporting their 'direct pay to developers' stance on their own storefront. And no, people can't 'buy PC titles anywhere they like' as every game is not multiplatform / storefront.

Then they already do what you're asking for. Games on EGS can have direct payments and EGS doesn't take a cut.

People can buy PC titles anywhere the developer chooses to sell them. Kind of assumed that last bit went without saying.
