That seems totally reasonable to me.
- MR4D 3y agoEpic doesn't build any hardware, and charges Devs 12% to build an add-on for Fortnite. [0] Why 12% ? That's not cheap for what is essentially basic ACH billing service. If I go to get a service like that, I have several vendors to choose from and only pay about 1/4 that price. [1] Maybe someone should sue Epic for unreasonable pricing.

- Onawa 3y agoAn ACH billing service.... That is built on top a game platform. 12% doesn't seem bad, compared to Roblox. Pretty sure last I saw, developers were only getting 30% of the sales from Roblox add-ons.
