Epic Game store Exclusive for Ashes of Creation?

I read a reddit post where someone said the dev's verified that the game will NOT be on steam, and it appears it has it's own launcher which is great. But I just want to make sure it won't go EGS because it is using Unreal 4 which means they will have to pay a royalty fee to Epic for using the Engine unless they go on EGS.

Thanks.

Last I heard it was a separate client and self published - like most mmorpgs. Personally, Steam, Epic Store, and Windows Store just add too much unwanted extra overhead to mmorpgs.

I figured, I just didn't want to invest a lot of time learning about and waiting for this game for them to announce EGS at the end and just burn down any goodwill they had.

I heard that the game was already paid for before Kickstarter by Steve, and having no box price is his gift to the community. I would not imagine that epic game store is not going to try take a percentage of free. It would make more sense for them to just not be willing to host a free game. I also don't think that they are going to do anything that would allow epic to take a percentage of the sub fee and MTX.

I don't think we have to worry about this. I would be shocked to learn that the game is an Epic Exclusive.
