I've not used Epic games store much at all but I could see this leading to a proliferation of garbage on their service if they take the Steam approach of just letting anyone publish on there. This would essentially be an incentive to publish asset flip shovelware on Epic instead of Steam because "devs" get a bigger cut.

They actually take the time to approve the games coming to their store, unlike Valve...
