Riot Games "joins" the Epic Games Store

This makes sense. One of the failing arguments that Epic tried to make in the Apple trial was that they had ambitions for the Epic store to become more than just a game storefront. By hosting a launcher it's a half step towards being a more all purpose store and they can demonstrate exactly the kind of behavior that they want Apple and Google to do (host other stores on their own).

 

Otherwise, I somehow doubt that there are many folks out there that will suddenly get into League because the launcher is now on the EGS.

It also doesn't hurt that Riot Game is 100% owned by the company that owns 40% of Epic :p
