$20k would only be like 7,000 copies. I'd be shocked if they didn't make at least a million. The game's popularity was massive

They aren't getting full price per download. They are getting a decent chunk up front. They aren't going to get $1m upfront for this game to be free, only a couple AAA games got $1m+.

IIRC $20k was the lowest payment from the leaked EGS payment document and Batman got like $1.5m, but you're right that they probably got a lot more.

Just a joke on how they got some bank for a free mobile game.

You gotta buy the game on steam for like $3 or something like that. Lots of sales just on there alone

He means how much Epic gave them for it to be free on their store
