Regular free games
Epic is still an ASA in its sleeves: as a desktop, free games are to be distributed regularly in the mobile stores of the epic. This Roguelike starts with the mobile game “Dungon of the Endless: Appi”, which every user of the app can currently install for free. The game usually costs 8 euros in the play store and in app store.
Subsequently, the popular tower defense game is to be given to “Blones TD6”. Initially, the epic wants to give free games every month every month, before a free title is introduced every week later.
The epic pays the main technology fee
According to Epic, the fact that the proposal is still quite narrow, is also due to the behavior of Google and Epic, which keeps users and developers with warnings and restrictions. As an example, Epic has mentioned the main technology fee that developers have to pay on Apple if the app offered outside the App Store is downloaded 1 million times a year.
To convince other developers to offer their apps at the epic store, the epic wants to pay this fee for the developers participating for one year. Another detail shows that preventive measures are still functioning: According to the epic, not a single of the 100 -SAles mobile players has been persuaded to offer his app in Epic Games Store yet.
