The discussion to bring haven to steam has been tossed around quite a bit. Usually the consensus is that haven would be lost in the masses, the revenue cut wouldn't be worth the exposure, haven isn't ready for its debut, and haven can't handle the amount of players that process might bring in.
Tabling the issue of haven not being ready to plop into the eyes of millions or being able to cope with a large amount of players, I'm curious what others thoughts are on the merits of haven being distributed on this new platform? Unreal Engine/ Epic Games is aiming to take on steam, and with a 12% revenue cut and their huge amount of attention from fortnite, they seem to stand a chance. Not that I understand how anyone enjoys fortnite. So what do you think, could haven stand to benefit from this some day? Would unleashing haven on this new store early be advantageous since it won't be bloated with games?
Do you think this 'Epic Games Store' can rival steam?
Even if it never reaches steams level, is it a better option for distribution?
If Haven was ready, would this be a good option?
