@TimSweeneyEpic A few questions for you Tim, if you have time regarding account bans. Is it possible to have your entire Epic Account banned if you are caught cheating in say, Fortnite? Is that the correct penalty?

I am really curious about this. With all the exclusivity money you are handing out, does EGS even make a profit for Epic Games or is it at a net loss?
The Epic Games store earns a net profit on each transaction from its 12% store fee. Our average cost of transactions is under 12%. Our up-front investments in exclusives and free games are significant and may exceed net profits from third-party games in 2019.

Doesn't make you any less of an anti-consumer fraud.

Please don't use my question to Tim as your avenue to attack his credibility or the store he runs. You're welcome to be angry, you're welcome to speak your mind, but make your own comment to spread your anger, don't piggyback off of mine.
-
What are you even talking about? You can't stop anyone here from asking questions on Twitter. This is just laughable.
-
By all means, ask questions, voice your opinions, but don't piggyback off of my question to do it. Firstly, because it's irrelevant to what I asked and off-topic. Secondly, because I don't need or want to see the BS that the hate mob throws around.
-
It's cute how you have some weird sense of ownership over a public discussion.
-
It's called basic respect. Technically I can't stop you, but when someone asks you to do something, especially when it's easy, it's considered respectful to do so. Worst case scenario I block everyone who throws shade at Epic using my post. I'd rather not, but if I must...
-
Keep in mind that every time one of you lot throws shade at Epic using my post, my phone buzzes, like it did while I was trying to sleep last night.

Instead of supporting a store and their bloated exclusivity contract, I'm all for pirating the game and sending $60 to devs directly. That helps devs a lot more than making people wait to buy it on their platform of choice. Buying from EGS only helps EGS, another useless launcher
-
If you're going to pirate a game, firstly you shouldn't but secondly, don't talk about it publicly. Game developers do see tweets like these (especially when they're linked to major gaming CEO accounts) and the last thing they want to see is you gloating about theft.
-
Many of them aren't even responsible for the decisions made by publishers, so by gloating about it you're effectively pissing on years of work they've done.
-
Don't gloat about it, also goodbye.
-
I'm not sure I understand why you feel entitled to give orders to everyone around here.

Please no. One anti-consumer corporation is enough. Valve doesn't need to do anything. Epic is destroying themselves by burning all the consumer goodwill they can.
-
I already believe Valve is headed that way. Bethesda, who have their own launcher and seemed perfectly happy to launch all their games there suddenly deciding to return their games to Steam so soon after Steam lost titles to the Epic Store? Coincidence? I think not.
-
Are you serious? Bethesda wants to put their games on Steam again because F76, the live service that was supposed to attract players to their own launcher failed miserably. Bethesda tried and realised that running a launcher is not worth it.
-
'Failed Miserably' but still managed to get into the top 5 for game sales in the US during its launch month which only counted physical sales. If your game is in the top 5 for sales during its launch month? It's not a failure.
-
And yet look how fast it died
-
Except that it's not close to dead. It still has millions of players and a very active community.
