- A game programmer is a software engineer, programmer, or computer scientist who primarily develops codebases for video games or related software, such as game development tools. Game programming has many specialized disciplines, all of which fall under the umbrella term of "game programmer".

As part of its push to compete with Valve’s Steam store on PC by offering developers more generous terms and exclusivity deals, Epic waives the 5 percent Unreal fee it charges for sales of games through its store.
