Epic Is Bringing Its Games to the Humble Bundle
You'll soon be able to buy Epic exclusives through Humble Bundle, thanks to a partnership between the two companies.
Epic and Humble Bundle's partnership goal, in addition to raising money for charity, is to create more opportunities for developers to sell their games, "including Epic exclusives." It also increases Humble's ability to raise money for charitable organizations.
Since its inception Humble has raised over $145 million USD for charity, co-founder John Graham said.
The partnership brings "a one-click, keyless redemption flow," something Humble says "developers and customers have been clamoring for."
Epic announced the Epic Games Store at the end of last year, promising an 88-to-12 revenue split for developers. It also said it wouldn't take any profit from games made with Unreal Engine, something it reiterated during its GDC keynote this morning.

In an alleged e-mail that went out to various Microsoft employees, Xbox head Phil Spencer reportedly said the Google Stadia announcement had “no big surprises,” and that Xbox in turn will “go big” at E3 2019.

"Today we saw a big tech competitor enter the gaming market, and frame the necessary ingredients for success as Content, Community and Cloud. There were no big surprises in their announcement although I was impressed by their leveraging of YouTube, the use of Google Assistant and the new WiFi controller."
