>>732222968*fortnite launcher 2025 year in review
>>732222968I've claimed every free game from the last few years but the only games I've actually bought and played were Bugsnax and Alan Wake.
>>732222968Now let's see revenue without fortnite to see how the store is actually faring

Now multiply every number by 100 and you get steam's numbers
>>732223449>Third-party game spending surged 57% to an all-time high of 400 million dollars.This is how much Epic spent paying developers to release games on EGS, not store revenue.
>>732223531That sounds nice until you realize they had 355M back in 2022 and that they had a year round 20% cashback for all purchases on the store.
>>732223531No that's the total spending by people buying non Epic related content.The catch is it's total spending not how much they take, so 12% of $400 million is $48 million before taxes and other expenses.
I'll just collect my free games and sell the account when they stop.There is literally NO REASON to spend any money on epic store.
