Will Unreal Engine 4 support Windows 10's Universal Platform?

Again, there’s nothing wrong with them being concerned about how they could lose money off this, every developer should be concerned about it. Also, they wouldn’t lose any money off games that are in any of those stores, as far as games that are made with UE4 but aren’t made by Epic, since the 5% royalty is off the gross revenue and not the net revenue.
Also, Unity doesn’t make games, they just make the game engine, Epic makes more than just an engine and if they implement UWP for Windows/Mobile/Xbox then they will be severely limited in the audience they reach and they’ll make even less profit due to the 30% royalty.

Epic may still make games but they are primarily FTP these days, so that argument goes out of the window frankly. Also there are quite a few examples of Steam games that are Steam only. Valve may not force it on the developers but there are nonetheless examples of that, one being StreetFighter V which uses UE4. Is it fair as a consumer that I can only buy that game (for the PC) on Steam? (Which by the way they take 30% of the cut). I don’t see Epic having a go at Valve for that.

Anyway we are going round in circles, In the end I’m not saying that Microsoft should go down this route, all I am saying is that they are entitled to and Epic screaming bloody murder in the way did is not helping the situation, and is rude at best, hypocritical at worst.
