Not worth me being a statistic that they can sell to investors imo. Fuck Epic.
Besides, that game’s been on sale for less than $5 on Steam.
"As you can see, a whole bunch of people joined our service, downloaded games we paid literally millions for from our servers and didn't give us money" isn't a good pitch.
It’s not, no. Would you imagine they would pitch free players as potential future customers?
It is the only reason I have epic installed. Not planning to buy anything but they got their foot in the door
Fooling investors into thinking people will just start paying them for a worse experience than you can get on Steam is funny but even they should realize once they look at the financials.
I wouldn’t be surprised to hear something like…
they rope kids in with the free price tag over the summer, school starts and they get bullied for only having the default Fortnite skin, and suddenly the “customer” “converts“.
Investors (not China)
