UDK devs making $75k only give 1% to Epic | Game Development | News by Develop
"Engine vendor wants to shoot down 'circling-vulture' claim
A developer using UDK would only pay Epic $700 from a game that makes $75,000, new data shows.
Epic Games vice president Mark Rein sent the equation to Develop in a bid to clarify the company’s pricing model. That, and a second equation, can be found below.
The Unreal Development Kit costs nothing for developers to download and create content with. A one-off $99 fee is paid to Epic if the user wants to sell a title.
Epic said it will not take anything from a UDK game’s first $50,000 in sales. Instead, it takes a 25 per cent share of subsequent revenues after the threshold.
However, Epic only calculates its 25 per cent after seperate charges from a game's digital distributor."
