The Epic First Run programme allows developers of any size to claim 100% of revenue if they agree to make their game exclusive on the Epic Games Store for six months.

After the six months are up, the game will revert to the standard Epic Games Store revenue split of 88% for the developer and 12% for Epic Games.

I’ll have to wait at least 6 months for some games to show up on steam.

It raises a fun ethical question: Is piracy moral if you fully intend on buying the game at full price when it hits Steam in six months?

Spare me the “piracy is always moral” arguments; Even as a fellow pirate, the mental gymnastics to justify it get old quickly. Just admit that you won’t/can’t pay for something. So the question is whether or not the morality comes into play when you DO intend on buying the game as soon as it’s available on your preferred platform.

Patient gamer does mean actually be patient. If someone is playing a pirated game I would say that doesn't count as patience with them not depriving themselves of anything.
