Are there any plans in the works to create a game distribution platform similar in function to Steam, SteamOS or Origin? The main reason why Steam became popular is because of Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Source Engine and Hammer. Epic has Unreal Tournament in the works, along with Fortnite and a superior game engine. From what I can tell the experience Epic is gaining with marketplace assets is a stepping stone towards game distribution. Both concepts share the same basic idea and the Epic Games launcher already has the basic building blocks there to expand on this idea.
As a game developer I don’t see the point in giving up profit margins to Valve through Steam so they can improve their Source 2 engine, when we can release through the Epic Games Launcher and support the development of the Unreal Engine and Unreal Tournament. I would be willing to bet most gamedevs here would support the idea of game distribution through Epic.
