    The Epic Games store is now open, featuring games from other developers. Epic's goal is to bring you great games, and to give game developers a better deal: they receive 88% of the money you spend, versus only 70% elsewhere. This helps developers succeed and make more of the games you love.

    The first games on the store are Hades by Supergiant Games, Ashen by Annapurna/A44, and Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek by tinyBuild, and they’re available now!

    Hades is the rogue-like dungeon crawler from the creators of Bastion and Transistor. It is available in early access, with updates to come every month until full release later in 2019.
    Ashen is an action RPG about a wanderer in search of a home. You can forge relationships in the game, inviting other players to join your camp - they might just help you succeed.

    Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek is the prequel to Hello Neighbor.

    The store will also feature one free game every two weeks throughout 2019. Epic is funding these free releases so you always have something new to come and check out. The first free game will be Subnautica, available from Dec 14th to Dec 27th, followed by Super Meat Boy from Dec 28th to Jan 10th.

    The Epic Games store will be growing throughout 2019 and beyond, as it opens up more widely to other games.

    I read online about a lot of bugs that come with Epic Store. I used it the first time for Kingdom Come and now they gave GTA V for free...and no bugs occured so far. Epic Store is my new favorite Santa Claus!

    Okay game store.
    Not sure how legal they are yet.

    I don't a broken packager like Steam does from a game store.
    I don't need broken forums like Steam does.
    I don't need insane bbcodes from a published like Steam does.
    I don't need a separate messenger from every game store...

    Their main point of advertising to developers is that devs get 88% of the price. Steam, Playstation, and XBox only give devs 70% of the revenue. If you as a consumer care about how much developers make, Humble Bundle Store is still your best bet.
    • itch.io - whatever developers wanna give to them
    • Humble Bundle - 5% (and 5% to charity) (and they also give you a steam code)
    • Epic Games Store - 12%
    • GOG - 30%
    • Steam - 30%
    • Microsoft Store - 30%
    • Playstation Store - 30%

    Their main selling point to consumers is that they will be giving out a free game every 2 weeks throughout 2019. However, Humble Bundle probably beats them here too considering they have crazy bundles with really good games for $1 or ~5$ if you wanna beat the average and get some extra games. The two games Epic has already announced have already been in a couple Humble Indie Bundles anyways

    The only real advantage Epic has over Humble Bundle is that they have more money and will probably be able to get cooler free stuff in the future
