Som du säkerligen vet, ger Epic Games Store varje vecka bort gratis spel på denna länk (för tillfället Borderlands: The Handsome Collection). Det är såklart ett fullkomligt otroligt generöst erbjudande, men det verkar som att dessa gratisspel kanske inte är så kostsamma att ge bort ändå.
I en intervju hos Gamespot, berättar Epics grundare och tillika chef, Tim Sweeney, följande:
"You're not going to go out and buy if you're not into games like Satisfactory, you're not going to go out and spend money to buy Satisfactory but if you get it for free you realize it's an awesome game.
People have discovered a lot of great games that way. It's been a benefit for game developers. Most developers who launch their games for free on the store found that their sales on Steam and on console platforms actually increased after they went free on Epic because of increased awareness and so it's been a really positive thing and it's brought tens of millions of new users into the Epic Games ecosystem and that's been a wonderful thing for the company."
Låter detta rimligt, tycker du?
