The question is though - is the audience of Epic games interested in buying indies? It's a company angled at mainstream audience that buys one game a year - Gears, Unreal, Fortnite. I don't know if those customers want to buy some small quirky title they never heard about.

I think it'll work the other way: the audience for indie games will follow them to Epic, provided the Epic gets account information locked down tighter. I don't think it'll be a fast exodus, but I think a lot of indie developers are going to put their games on both platforms until and if Epic's gets enough of an audience to write off Steam.

People who play GoW or Fortnite might not want small quirky indie games, but people who do will follow them.

Does the Epic launcher have a wishlist feature like Steam? I couldn't find it last night and like having a notification when something I want is on sale.
