“Not good investments”: Epic Games’ Tim Sweeney Admits Some Mistakes Were Made with Some Deals
In a recentinterview, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney shed some light on the company’s approach to attracting new users to the platform:
For about a quarter of the price that it costs to acquire users through Facebook ads or Google Search Ads, we can pay a game developer a lot of money for the right to distribute their game to our users, and we can bring in new users to the Epic Games Store at a very economical rate.

Surprisingly, this strategy has proven beneficial for developers as well:
Developers who give away free games actually see an upsurge in the sale of their paid games on the store, just because their free game raises awareness.
This win-win approachappears to be paying off for the Epic Games Store, attracting more players to the platform and boosting sales for developers.

And with high-profile titles likeSEGA‘sFootball Manager 2024joining the lineup, it’s more than clear that Epic’s strategy is here to stay.
