bumping this old thread, but there is something I couldn’t find information on : what about refunds? Does the royalty fee apply to sales regardless if they get refunded?
say you sell 10 000 copies of a game for 10$, you’ll then have $100K. Woot that’s fantastic. Then it’s the end of the quarter and time to pay Epic its 5% royalties fee : $5K. You have 95k in your bank account, that’s still awesome.
But something apocalyptic happens and 100% of the customers decide to get a refund. You have to pay back all of the $100K to the unhappy customers, but there is a problem, you already gave $5K to Epic.
Although it’s a very unrealistic scenario, is that how it works?
