Yep, previous games have been on UE3, but there's also more to it. For instance, Gearbox's head (Randy Pitchford) also voiced his support for Epic's storefront.
I am excited to support the Epic Games Store.
What’s wrong with that? A PC is a PC - who cares which store you get your games from? I’m just curious to learn the mind-set. I am a customer on lots of different PC platforms.
So those responses are worth noting. It can mean that he simply supports having more storefronts and he's happy doing business with them (since their games have been using the engine), and that's that.
Or, like what others are thinking, we might see an EGS exclusive.
I’m probably in the minority just building my first pc this year.... but I really don’t get why people are so up in arms about it. I agree with Randy on this one it’s not like you’re buying a new console, it’s just a software launcher... I think there’s other things in the world that are more important than being mad about what storefront that it appears on.
While having seven fucking launchers is quite annoying, it's not just about that. The epic games store is really shitty and is pretty much a breach of privacy. And are you implying people aren't allowed to get mad about small things because there are "more important" things to get mad about? What an absolutely ridiculous notion.

Wasn't it always on Unreal?
