Well this makes me feel awkward as a Unity dev.

I saw that they'll allow unity based games on their new store but I wonder if that's just for the short term. Kind of makes me wonder if I should've chosen Unreal.

I see absolutely no reason to believe the Epic Store is ever going to be for just Unreal games.

Considering Tim Sweeney's pretty strong stance against walling in marketplaces too hard, I think it's.. relatively safe at least.

They have indicated that the epic store will have third party exclusives, so I wouldn't be too sure about that.

No I’m sure they wouldn’t do that, at least as long as Tim is in charge.

Choose the engine that works for you. They just announced their store. There is a very long way to go before it becomes the next steam.

Tons of unity devs switched over to Unreal back in the day. Most came back. Unity is still, by very far, the dominate engine.
