    They give affiliates a cut of their sales, this percentage is in line with thins like the Amazon affiliate links and other such programs.

    It's the same thing with the iTunes affiliate program... they pay you to bring users to them.
    It's kinda sad how people don't understand this. People just believe every and any article nowadays.

    They actually take 12% (Epic Games store)

    If Epic or anyone else wants to complain about Apple's 30% cut policy on using Apple's proprietary platform, fine.

    But when Epic turns around (quietly) and takes a 95% cut of developer's revenue for using Epic's proprietary platform then f**k Epic and it's blatant hypocrisy.

    I hope Apple  this added into a court exhibit down the road.

    Support-A-creator is for the people who make content for the game (Fortnite) it's not like Epic game store (which takes 12%). Support A Creator gives people 5% of Epic's profit from Fortnite. (5% of the Money gained from cosmetics in the in-game store)

    The point of Support-A-Creator is that it says 'Creator' like an influencer. Epic didn't have to add it. It just helps creators profit (of Epic cosmetics) and make extra money from the game. Other games have the same type of creator supporter like Brawl stars and Roblox. The sole purpose is to give back to the community of content creators who play fortnite and it is NOTHING like the App store Which is a marketplace that Support-A-Creator clearly is not.

    That's not what this is.

    Say you've made a skin for Fortnite. You then put it up for sale, since you're one of Epic's blessed. If Epic sells your skin for $10, you get $0.50. If Jim says that "Hey, look at this cool skin on Fortnite" and somehow links it to you, he gets nothing, and since it's your skin, you get $0.50.

    If it was like the iTunes affiliate program (which cut apps out about three years ago), Jim that did the referral would get probably $0.02 and you'd get the $0.50 since its your skin.
    Except you can't create skins for Fortnite or any cosemetics.
