The Epic Games Store still isn’t profitable.
That’s according to Epic Games Store boss Steve Allison, who was speaking during a court hearing on Monday.
As reported by The Verge, the exec was talking during the current Epic vs Google court case. Here, Allison said while the Epic Games Store still isn’t profitable, the company’s focus remains on “growth”. Additionally, according to emails shared during the trial, Epic had hoped to claim half of all gaming revenue for PC games.
Epic launched its own storefront just shy of five years ago, in December 2018. At this time, the store featured a 88/12 percent revenue split in favour of developers, something it still touts today. This was notably different from its competitors, specifically Steam owner Valve which at the time of Epic’s storefront debut generally took about a 30 percent cut of revenue.
