      OMG this thread. "Big pubs deserve a better deal than small devs! A quarter billion dollars is a small amount of money! Stores deserve 30%! Epic is unethical to not sell all 5,0000 indie PC games released every year!"

      You said today that Valve's bad for giving big devs a better deal than small ones, yet you're not allowing small devs to sell on your store at all if they won't go exclusive?

      Right now we’re deciding which games to accept on a case-by-case basis given our limited ability to onboard new titles. We’ll open up the store much more broadly later this year.

      Are you telling me you launched a store without an automated method to accept new submissions, so each one has to be processed manually? I guess that shouldn't surprise me, given you also launched without a shopping cart!

      In fairness opening the door to any publishers using a freely usable submission form world eradicate the stated approach to host quality games. It's not a stretch to imagine they'd want to do that manually to start with while nursing the platform.

      The problem with skimming the cream off the top is there's plenty of indie games which at first glance look like absolute garbage, but turn out to be hugely popular, and with Epic acting as gatekeeper, they'd judge them unworthy before the public even has a chance to try them.

      Hand curation is never perfect, but it is better than no curation at all. Any game that doesn't get accepted still can go to stores like Itch and Steam that have no curation, and perhaps still end up on Epic after similar to what we have seen happen with some games on GOG.

      There is no better or worse. Each approach has advantages and drawbacks. EGS will have a managed library, Steam will allow quality indies to succeed. Whether EGS wants them only after they've proven themselves in a harsher market and made their sales is immaterial lol.

      Steam also allows quality indies to never be found, or found by very little. Indies coming to Epic later have opportunity to be exposed to people who didn't see it on Steam/don't use Steam.

      The challenge is different in both stores. On Steam it's the volume of competition, on EGS it's the potential instant death of being told no. Personally I think it's better to have a chance than to have none but I can accept that is subjective and there is no better or worse.

      Yes definitely, the ideal is an open store. We’ll be there by the end of the year.

          Wait... what? Fully open? Even asset flips and "hentai puzzle spam"? That would be a phenomenal 180 from everything we've been hearing for months.

          There will be quality criteria, it's just gonna be easier for Devs to submit games for review.

          By open store do you mean strictly just open to all developers or no exclusivity what so ever? This has been my main problem and would swap in a heartbeat if exclusives went away.
