    I’ve got thousands worth of free games

    So what’s the developer’s cut on a game you got for free? Or are you not nearly as concerned about developers as you pretend to be for the sake of your argument?

      They get money from every install of the games and an amount agreed upon beforehand. Epic is using what they would have spent on marketing to give free games, the CEO explained it in an interview.

      Do you really think devs would let Epic give their game away for free without getting anything in return? You realize that would be illegal, right?

      Freaking hell.
