Welcome to the game development community! This is a place to talk about and post anything related to the field of game development.
Do people actually use Epic? I wasn't much of a gamer before and didn't care for Steam, and my first real exposure to PC gaming was when Epic started their weekly giveaway of free games. I made an account, discovered some cool titles, and could have been a happy customer if only their launcher weren't so ridiculously slow. Now I can barely even stand opening the launcher to collect the free game, let alone trying to browse for games to buy.
I think some people do, it’s required for Fortnite and to use Unreal. This is a decent incentive but yeah idk how large the market is, I remember hearing studios that took exclusivity deals with Epic early on didn’t do well
Some of my friends do but I can't be bothered when I already have Steam and Itch.io
