In late 2018, Epic announced that in addition to their existing repertoire of game development, publishing and technology, they would also be expanding into the realm of game distribution with the launch of the Epic Games Store, a UsefulNotes/DigitalDistribution platform similar to the likes of UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} and Website/GogDotCom. The unique advantage of Epic's store is that they will take a mere 12% cut of revenue from game sales, as opposed to the industry standard of 30% for UsefulNotes/DigitalDistribution services. Additionally, licensees of Epic's Unreal Engine 4 would not have to pay any additional royalties to Epic for sales on the store, making the store an even more attractive offer for such games.

* AscendedFanfic / PromotedFanboy: It became a constant since ''VideoGame/{{Unreal|I}}'' that Epic may pick up members of their community, so they can work with them. There are some examples in the [[VideoGame/{{Unreal}} Unreal page]], most notably ''Make Something Unreal'' contest winners.
* GameEngine: The ''Unreal Engine'' series. Still quite popular to this day, at roughly version 3.5, and with a fourth version on the way.
* ObviousBeta: Their latest games would find their way as incomplete releases, with Epic themselves releasing A LOT of patches. As of now, the worst offender is ''VideoGame/UnrealTournamentIII'', which had many {{Game Breaking Bug}}s in the GUI before the [[UpdatedRerelease Black Edition]].
