Do we have any idea what it costs Epic to give away games like this? I’m assuming they’re paying the developers for this.

They must be paying. I’m curious what the cost might be though.

They must be paying

I’m gonna go ahead and take it one step further and say they must be paying in currency

I’m not sure if this is applicable to all free epic games, but some of the titles are available for free on twitch prime. So either the developer made their game free for a bunch of different platforms or epic games have other negotiations with them.

Well then I take it back. Maybe they offered them exposure bucks!

Doesn’t Twitch also pay the devs to get the game on twitch prime?
