Epic Games Store completely eliminates revenue fees for smaller developers

Epic Games is reducing its fees for developers from the current 12% to zero for the first $1m in sales for each game on its Epic Games Store.
The new strategy will be implemeted in June and is a bid by the gamemaker to stay competitive with Steam, which offers developers a higher revenue share than Epic Games.
Steam reduced its fees recently from 30% to 25% for game earnings over $10 m, an d t o 20$ 50m.
Epic previously offered a royalty-free allowance for the first $50 kin s a l es f or p ro j ec t s ma d e u s in g i t s U n re a l De v e l o p m e n t K i t, in cre a d in g t hi s t o$ 1m in 2020.
Some speculate that the company hopes to identify small developers who make a big hit, then acquire them, similar to its buyout of Rocket League developers Psyonix.
