The Fortnite creators' store, which broke into force at the end of 2018, has opted to seal exclusive agreements with the studios.
Epic Games Store has broken to an industry standard. The platform was released in the market with several aces up its sleeve: first, it only has 12% of each sale, so that developers receive 88% (while competing stores require 30 %); Second, each week they offer new free video games to their customers. On the other hand, it has also closed exclusivity agreements, a feature that all players have not liked.
However, in Paradox Interactive they welcome the arrival of Epic Games to the business. Ebba Ljungerud, CEO of the company, has come out in defense of Fortnite's parents and has said they believe Epic Games Store will benefit the compatible market in all its aspects. This has been assured in the report that includes the economic results of the third quarter of this fiscal year.
Surviving the Aftermath, early access at Epic Games Store
"The PC version of the game (Surviving the Aftermath) is available in early access exclusively in the Epic Games Store, although the final version will also be released on Steam and other platforms," reports Ebba Ljungerud. "Through the collaboration with Epic Games, we have received a guaranteed remuneration", a practice that the store has been developing for some time. According to the directive, this competitive atmosphere "will continue next year and will benefit both the players and the publishers."
If you have not yet done with the free games of Epic Games Store this week, you will have until tomorrow (normally until 17:00, Spanish peninsular time) to redeem them on the platform and permanently add them to your digital library. This is Nuclear Throne and Ruiner, which will be replaced by The Messenger, available until November 21.
