Tim Sweeney, who is the head of Epic Games, said that his organization is currently operating at a loss.
According to the director, this is a conscious decision, since EG is investing in its own development. It also invests in its Epic Games Store, on which about 1 billion dollars have been spent over the entire period. This amount included not only the development of the service, but also payments to companies for the exclusivity of their projects.
Mr. Sweeney, when asked by journalists whether Epic Games will be able to continue to operate in the same mode, answered positively. The company receives good income from Fortnite and the Unreal Engine, so the brand will be able to invest in its development for another couple of decades.
The patch added new content to the game.
The console release is still a long way off.
The creators of the series themselves reported this.
