- gamblor956 8y agoNo, they are not. The Epic store takes 12% whatever engine you use. They are simply waiving the 5% unreal engine royalty to unreal developers so they don't pay more than 12%.
- tokyodude 8y agoGame budget $200k. Team 3 people Unreal Engine: +$200k -$24k 12% epic store fee -0 5% epic fee (would be $10k) ------ $176k income Unity Engine: +$200k -$24k 12% epic store fee -$3.6k 3 copies of unity pro for $200k budget game ------ $172.4k income (-4.6k vs unreal) So yes, they are. If you publish on Steam then the numbers change Unreal Engine: +$200k -$60k 30% steam fee -$10 5% epic fee ------ $130k income Unity Engine: +$200k -$60k 30% steam fee -$3.6k 3 copies of unity pro for $200k budget game ------ $136.4k income (+6.4k vs unreal)
