Honestly I know people here are against Epic, but Google Play is such garbage that I welcome the epic store on Android.

Ignore the anti-Epic group, they just prefer monopolies

Yeah, what we really needed in this world was Epic Games doing anything ever.

As a gamer for over 40 years, I don't play games on my phone. I find it boring, monotonous, and repetitive, along with the ads, gatcha mechanics, and whatever trash they're pushing. If I want to play a game, I'll use my desktop or Switch.

I play shattered dungeon.

Game boy emulators.

TIC-80 and PICO8 games.

Native android Final Fantasy VI.

There are some good options for phone gaming.

Only for EU iPhones, right?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yup. Worldwide on Android but only EU on iPhone.

Maybe the EU will eventually extend these rules to the iPad. I’ve already tried installing from the epic website and the process is not that bad.

Not even joking, if they honor their cut rates for Unreal Engine from the PC Store this will be very big.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Unreal Engine is pretty good value for money already. You can make quite a large amount of money as an indie Dev before you have to give them any cut.

Not in the US
