That is so bananas.

Epic is shifting the Unreal store from 70/30 revenue split to 88/12, and it is going to set that retroactively, so people get that rate for all sales from the last 4 years.https://twitter.com/GamesBeat/status/1017408331156107264 …

Also, while I have you and since I don't have a Soundcloud, I could use input from developers on the perception of "asset flip" games. Got some smart takes already, but I just need a few more voices. Would really help me if you would reach out in DM or email! Thanks!

I love the Tim Sweeney quote for this story. He's basically, "yeah, Fortnite is making us enough money that we can get 12 percent from store sales and still make a healthy profit."

Epic definitely did the Fortnite: Battle Royale thing to test and refine features for Unreal Engine for other developers to use, so it feels like it is almost embarrassed by the success. It's super endearing.

Valve has spent the last decade or so building Steam to benefit developers. The marketplace, workshop, free-to-play infrastructure, and a million other things. It's been positive, but Epic seems like it wants to emphasize that feeding back into its dev community even more.

Oh, quick swerve: My wife is an educator who makes content for a site called Teachers Pay Teachers. This isn't a plug for that, it's a callout of TPT for taking a 45 percent cut on all sales unless you pay a membership fee. That's wack. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Help/Payout-27/Payout-Rates-and-Fees …

Some stats: Unreal Engine Marketplace has only 1,500 creators, but that number has jumped 30 percent through the first half of 2018. It also has only 5,000 individual assets for sale. So it's not a crowded space at all yet for people thinking about giving it a shot.

The whole idea of taking 30 percent for running a platform is that you create a healthy ecosystem where people want to buy things. That justifies the 30/70 take. But this is so surprising because Unreal Engine use is growing quickly thanks to Epic ... so it's lowering its take.

A corporation using its massive success to benefit its community rather than hoarding the wealth? Now I've seen everything.

Tim Sweeney might be legit?
