In a move to further expand their reach and make Epic Games store another program your gaming computer just can't do without, Epic has announced that they will soon be hosting the Itch.io store itself. The popular games storefront Itch.io has long been a haven for indi game devs, since the dev can decide what cut the game store takes out of their sales, and Epic has stated that they will not be taking further cuts out of Itch.io sales.
This will be yet another non-game app added to the Epic Game Store which already hosts Brave, The Privacy based web-browser, Krita, the art app, and Discord, among others.
Is Epic planning to make their store a PC app store to rival Google play and Microsoft App store? Will we be able to install Steam through it soon? Maybe we will soon be able to install the Epic Game Store from inside Epic Game Store making it an app Oraboras, rather than just a game store inception.

I'm making chill Let's play vids while playing through my huge backlog of games, and thought I'd start out with some of my newest acquisitions, from all over. From the free games given out each week by the Epic Store, the Games I've bought from the Steam sales over the last decade, the Humble Bundles, the Amazon Twitch Prime free games, the Humble Bundle Choice games each month, and the Humble Monthly (Now Humble Choice) Trove.( It's a pile of 90+ free games that come with a Humble Choice subscription, DRM free, but old.) So I'll play them a bit and see what treasures there are to find. If I find something I'll like I'll play it a while. If I find something YOU like, let me know and we'll play it some more together.
