adaliabooks: And I can imagine they will be pushing or incentivising it through Unreal Engine, let's face it if Epic can get all the developers using their engine to sell on their store (or even make it a term of using it) that's quite a few games.
Well, going by the article, there's a 5% royalty that devs using UE4 normally have to pay Epic -- but they'll waive that for sales made through the Epic storefront. I don't know if there's any up-front licensing fee on top of that, but it certainly should make UE a more attractive option for anyone that might consider releasing on the Epic store, and make that store more attractive to people already using or planning to use that engine. (I mean, on top of getting 88% of the gross sales revenue.)
