For digital distributions.
Key takeaway:
They take 12% of revenues - Steam chages 30%. And if you market a game made with one of their Unreal engines the royalties for the engine will count toward the 12%.
Sounds like a smart move. I don't know the market share of Unreal games but I feel it is quite large.
So, will small devs market easier? Will we see even more crappy games now?

I think this is great. Here is to hoping we'll see a lot of smaller indie-like UE4 projects in that shop.

Need an account for Steam games. Need an account for GoG games. Need an account for EA games. Need an account for Windows 10 Store games. Need an account for Ubisoft/Square Enix games. Need an account for Activion/Blizzard games. Now we need another account for Epic games?

While this may be good for small time developer teams not having to depend too much on steam the idea of having yet another game plataform account is not very appealing.

No kidding...I think I've got almost as many short cuts for game clients as I do for games on my desktop! Though...that offer for free Subnautica next week is pretty darn tempting.....

from another page Fortnite Battle Royale quickly gained an audience, amassing over 125 million players by May 2018 with estimates of having earned over US$1 billion by July 2018 through microtransactions. Epic Games, which had been valued at around US$825 million at the time of Tencent's acquisition, was estimated to be worth US$4.5 billion in July 2018 due to Fortnite Battle Royale, and expected to surpass US$8.5 billion by the end of 2018 with projected growth of the game. Due to the success of Fortnite, Epic announced it would be ending support for Paragon, its other free-to-play title, to focus on supporting Fortnite.OK, Epic Games can suck it until they release their next Unreal game.
