The real objective is not create another big game-distribution platform, steam is steam and i never change it for other, is give opportunities for the indie developers to success.
Epic quality/select process as you say need to be quite selective, for the customers, indieMarket offers high quality indie games, the idea are far from release games as hotcakes, one more bored than the previus, is offer opportunities, to developers that dont have money for spend in marketting and dont have contacts in the press, but have excellent games or concepts, for released their projects in some place. I need ask to you: ¿you know the quantity of excellent videogames that never see the light because the devs dont have money for keep it alive ?, im talking about games that when you play it, you say “This game go to the success”, but one week later no one remember it and is forget in the internet.
i admit that our idea are far from the perfection, at this point i never think in the Android/IOS developers, but for what reason dont put it here? other people like you can improve it and maybe Epic can see this and think that is a good idea.
