Epic Games claims that the financial information of Fortnite Battle Royale shared by SuperData is highly inaccurate. The company questions the firm's methodology and is blunt in maintaining that the numbers they publish do not match reality. This has been emphasized by Epic in statements to GamesIndustry.biz, where a company representative has assured that they are disappointed by the SuperData modus operandi. The consultancy, meanwhile, has been limited to denying the accusations.
"SuperData does not have and has never had access to Fortnite revenue information," the representative explains. "And SuperData reports don't adequately reflect Fortnite's performance." Epic says she is "disappointed" because the firm has published "repeatedly inaccurate reports based on Fortnite," which we believe, "a questionable methodology." And he continues: “Although we do not share Fortnite's revenue figures publicly, we will say that the SuperData numbers do not correspond to reality.
