Agreed. It’s a long-term effort, and it’s quite possible the stores of 2022 don’t much resemble the Steam or Epic Games store of today.

Do you ever see a future where gaming is like the Movies Anywhere program? Where you can buy a game from any platform and they'll show up on every other platform.

Yes, I think that will be the ultimate outcome of store competition and opening up the walled gardens. Where you buy a game needn’t have any relation to what platforms you play it on or which friends you play it with.

That's a great sentiment, and fantastic PR about ultimate goals. But sentiments and good PR backfires on you when you take steps that are directly contradicting of them; Your exclusivity is the polar opposite of everything you said.

But I think a necessary step to getting from where we are to a better place. Nobody taking a 30% cut of everyone’s game sales has any motivation to connect ecosystems.

We’re starting by working with UbiSoft to enable players to connect accounts and friends across ecosystems, and Humble to support direct purchasing from their store to our ecosystem.

We’re talking with others in hopes of agreeing on standards for connecting ecosystems multilaterally to support accounts, social features, comms, game state, and purchases. These efforts are all guided by our current ad-hoc integrations of ecosystems.

For example, you can log into Fortnite on any open platform using an Epic, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Google, or Facebook account. And though you don’t see an “@“ in player names yet, you’re seeing players from across 7 platform families.

Generally we’re working to advance the leading edge in Fortnite through rapid development of early features, then polish and expose through Epic online services and store, and work with partners to connect ecosystems through a mix of ad hoc integrations and standards.
