A good Samaritan was fatally shot over the weekend while handing out $20 bills and paying for meals at a Florida restaurant, according to police.

Officials with the Alachua County Sheriff's Office said the restaurant's surveillance camera captured an altercation between the two on video.

Witnesses said the victim was arguing with a female acquaintance of the suspect, who was reportedly upset because Brewer's generosity didn't include her.

Unfortunately they didn't reveal exact cut but Valve supports over 100 payment methods so fees for those probably vary a lot.

If 30% of total buyers buy game outside of Epic Store technically Epic is getting 8%.
