With the creators program expanded, a whole lot of channels that feature games other than Fortnite are sure to flood the sign-up page.Once accepted, creators will be able to give their unique link to anyone. If the link is used in a purchase, creators will get a small piece of the transaction.
The wider selection of games to create content for will surely open up the opportunity for more streamers and content creators to build on their personal channels or brands, while Epic Games enjoys the increase use of their store.
