Fireside Chat: Paradigm Shifts – The Evolving Mobile Market And 3P Marketplaces.
summary
Epic is rolling a mobile store with self‑publishing tools and an 88/12 revenue split, third‑party games coming soon and a light integration path via an SDK for Epic Online Services that supports Unity, Unreal and proprietary engines. PC precedent shows web shops and in‑game transactions can keep 100% of IAP revenue, and Fortnite already uses web storefronts. Developers discuss premium versus free‑to‑play, experiments with free‑to‑try demos, seasonal DLC/live‑ops, and porting PC hits to mobile as discovery and distribution diversify.
