Τa first steps for Epic Games Store with the company slowly filling its store with titles for Windows PC and Mac, enticing creators with a clearly more lucrative profit sharing (88/12 in favor of creators), but in 2019 will make the big leap to compete with the Google Play Store.
According to CEO Tim Sweeney, the Epic Games finds the existing system on both Google Play and the App Store very unfair, and would love to be able to offer iOS apps through the Epic Games Store. However, this is impossible due to Apple's closed system and therefore they will only turn to Android applications with the same profit distribution.
It will be interesting to see if it will gain the interest of the creators and of course if it will be able to provide security to users for the applications that will be distributed through Epic Games Store. If nothing else, Google Play has the mechanisms to protect users from malicious applications, although from time to time some worrying issues come to light but are almost immediately combated by Google.
Equally interesting will be the policy that Google will follow in 2019, since it is already beginning to be heard that it will also change the profit sharing rates.
