Epic CEO Tim Sweeney, when I asked him about Fortnite coming to Steam:

I want to know if Steam’s coming to Team Open or not. Paying 20-30 percent to a giant gatekeeper who intentionally structures their services so that, like, Steamworks users can’t talk to Fortnite users and so on, isn’t a very exciting prospect for the future right now.

As today’s Epic and Unity partnership shows, Epic is willing to work with its biggest competition — but I have my doubts that Valve will make the changes Epic wants anytime soon.
