How are they affording this? It can't be a sustainable model, right?

Easy. On EGS most games don't sell at all, so 0% of $0 is still $0. They get most of their money from Fortnite.
That's pretty cool, actually. Sorely needed in the current economic climate. Good for them.
I wish their software and platform were a lot better to go along with this, but in isolation this is great.
Is this an apology for the bad performance issues of UE5?
Fortnite kids will sustain them. Gotta darken those patterns just a little...
This is great and it's not like they have shit revenue splits anyway as last I checked it was 88/12 which is by far the best around.
This goes along with their 0% engine fees, only surprising thing is that this wasn’t always in place
I've not used Epic games store much at all but I could see this leading to a proliferation of garbage on their service if they take the Steam approach of just letting anyone publish on there. This would essentially be an incentive to publish asset flip shovelware on Epic instead of Steam because "devs" get a bigger cut.
fuck apple and their customers btw
