More likely is that after the honeymoon period and EGS has bought enough market share it'll drop its own compensation rate down to the industry standard of 70%.
Tim Sweeney himself has stated Epic's developer-bait policies are unsustainable.

I'm p sure he meant that buying exclusivity is unsustainable - not the revenue sharing fee itself
He's lying though is the thing, hence why they refuse to cover the transaction fees for smaller services in countries that predominately use something other than Visa or Paypal and shit. Further, Valve's operating costs have been estimated well over the 12% mark, and near as people can gather is likely a single digit percentage profit. If they get actually continue to grow and get more games on the platform that they have to maintain and distribute, the cost is going to skyrocket. The store will not be self-sustaining. Its quite likely it isn't now, and instead its being kept on life-support by Fortnite and Unreal engine royalties.
