Will make games “for the foreseeable”.
Epic Games, creator of the Gears of War series and the Unreal Engine, will never become a publisher, despite some believing it is the next natural step for the company.
Why? Because it doesn’t want the hassle of being responsible for game developers making money.
“We’re never going to be a publisher, which in some respects you would think is the natural next step for somebody like ourselves, who have become so large and have touched so many developers,” European territory manager Mike Gamble told Eurogamer at the Unreal University event in London today.
