      I’ve been publicly advocating for open platforms since 2016, and the state of open platforms is strong! Windows is more vibrant and malware-free than ever, Mac is holding up well, and Android Oreo is the most secure open smartphone OS ever. Props to all!

      My definition: On an open platform, users are free install software from any source they choose, and developers are free to reach users and engage in commerce directly.

      How so? Surely competition between stores is healthy, especially when it results in significant savings for developers (30% vs 12%), which can then be reinvested in future games or passed on to gamers.

      The race to the bottom we’re combatting is the trend of stores and user acquisition platforms (like paid store ads, Facebook, and Google) consuming a large and growing portion of game revenue, leaving developers with ever less.

      We try to make fun games and share the tools and tech we build so we can help other game developers succeed. We started serving developers with Unreal Engine in 1996, and now also provide online services and a store.

          Tim, Epic has done a LOT of good. But you are turning down the dark path that so many before you have done. Show the community that you actually give a damn about them, and not just their money. Don't turn into the next EA.

          Oh gosh no. I mean, if we were taking 30% and paying for exclusives, sure, we’d be yet another bunch of greedy biz goons. But we’re introducing dramatically better terms and are doing all that’s necessary to gain traction and bring devs permanent gains.

          Having a really fun night reading these justifications for forcing users onto your platform, @TimSweeneyEpic. Any timeline on offering a linux client? How about in-home streaming? Family sharing? Congrats on creating enemies out of a large part of your core audience.
