Earlier this week, after a major conquest of the room room against Apple, Epic Games announced changes in the epic game store, which aims to persuade more developers to use, and put a slight thumb in the process in the process.
The first change is a reduction in the amount of money from the developers on its store front. The EPIC currently receives 12 % income from sales on the store front, which is significantly lower than most others: for example, steam, earning income takes 30 % to 30 million, once over -the -10 million dollars marks behind 25 %, and more than $ 50 million more than $ 50 million. Under the new scheme, the epic will not take anything for $ 1 million in earnings earned every year, after which it will start a usual 12 % cut.
This is a big deal for small, indi developers. The valve took some heat when it adjusted the share formula in 2018 as it clearly liked major publishers and great achievements. The Epic Shift comes from the other end, and offers an honor for sports that are not running away.
Along with the adjusted revenue spiral, the EPIC is also adding a new feature that will enable developers to launch their “web shops” at the epic sports store. And why would they want to do this?
“These web shops can offer players to buy out -of -the -app purchase, where Apple, Google, and other extraordinary fees, as a more cost -effective alternative to the app, said Epic said. “With new legal decisions, the developers will be able to send players from sports to web shops on any platform, which allows players to make digital purchases, including iOS in the European Union and the United States.”
The first $ 1,000,000 payments to the game every year at the epic sports store will take 0 % (15 % for Apple) and then 12 % (30 % for Apple). Next month, we launch the EP -App purchases for EGS web shops, which as an alternative to EPP purchases, //t.co/ytufyzbizbiqurs: //t.co/ytufyzbiqur.May 1st, 2025
Apple’s purchase case was at the center of the legal fighting selected with Apple five years ago: Epic decided that he would not pay Apple’s 30 % deduction on Fortonite purchases and has added his own payment processing option to the Fortnite app, and Apple has completely reacted to it.
Epic lost the war, but five years and some unexpected turns later, he finally won an agreement: Apple has been told unclear that he cannot prevent the iOS app developers from connecting to the web payment forms out of the app, and does not receive a commission on the app. Now Epic is opening the door to all developers to sell his goods without paying Apple’s big fee.
The EP, any purchase made by EPEC’s web shops, will earn 5 % in epic rewards, which can also be added to other purchases at the epic store. This is not a huge amount, but if you are buying a group of goods and getting the choice 5 % or getting anything, well, it looks like a very easy math for me.
Both Epic’s latest revenue and web shops are both ready to stay in June.
