In the Apple VS Epic suit some of the numbers for this were actually released. Its surprising how low some of the numbers where. I think for some weeks Epic was only paying $50k/week for this (which, for the scale of Epic, is peanuts). Obviosuly for bigger games (e.g. when they gave out GTA V) it was way bigger, but the YoY cost is actually not as high as you might think.
Also remember this is suppose to be a loss leader. If they can get you hooked on a few games to draw you from Steam then you start buying your games on Epic and then they make real money
- Hamuko 4y ago>If they can get you hooked on a few games to draw you from Steam then you start buying your games on Epic and then they make real money Hasn't happened yet and I've had an account for >2 years. The thing is that even if they keep giving out free games, I still consider my Steam library to have the superior collection of games than what Epic has thus far given out. And since I like using the Steam client and the Steam store more, I don't see Epic Games closing the quality gap anytime soon.
- deafpolygon 4y agoSame. Only reason why I have an Epic account is for the free games. I refuse to buy anything from them on principle; especially after they did my baby Unreal Tournament dirty.
