- extropy 5y ago3.8% of annual revenue that was ~5B in 2020. So somewhere in the 200 Million range.
- lrem 5y agoThis also might push some people over the edge to buy things now, so the number can soar. But also: this isn't a holiday season, so the baseline might be way lower than the average.
- terafo 5y agoThe thing is that it's not 3.8%(of a yearly profit), it's more. First thing that you should understand is that the new season started today, that means increase in micro transactions since many people will buy and level up their battle pass. Second thing is that payments on their fortnite crew subscription are happening in first days of the month, so it means that somewhere around 8.5% of their subscription revenue this year will be there too. My estimate that the total number would be closer to 7-8% of yearly profit.
- wodenokoto 5y ago> generated revenue of 3.7 billion U.S. dollars in 2019, down from 5.4 billion U.S. dollars in 2018 When googling “fortnight revenue” google gives me the above quote, so take that with all the salt you can carry. But it definitely sounds like north of 2m
- xxs 5y agoThe quote is from the lawsuit of Epic vs Apple, so quite trustworthy.
- Kiro 5y agoFunny how you took 2M as the "extreme" when the reality is at least 100 times that.
- xunn0026 5y agoEpic Games was forced to pay Apple $6M because between August 2020 and October 2020, their direct payment method (on iOS alone) took in $12M. Of course, Apple felt entitled those $6M were well deserved given the "curation" they provided. Plus exorbitant download fees or something. Sigh... Anyway, 2 weeks is not pocket change.
