From CNET: Creators who make content for Fortnite can start monetizing their virtual goods in December.
The free-to-play online game's publisher, Epic Games, announced Thursday that those in its Creator program will earn revenue from the sale of in-game items they've made and money they already earn from engagement payouts for Epic-created items.
Before platform and store fees, those creators ordinarily will earn 50% of the value of V-Bucks earned (V-Bucks are the platform's virtual currency). But from December until the end of 2026, Epic is boosting that revenue cut to 100% -- again, before fees. Fees vary from 12% to 30%, depending on whether players buy items directly from the Epic Games Store or from platforms such as the PlayStation Store or the Xbox Store.
Epic has been involved in ongoing legal battles with Apple and Google over app store fees. This year, Fortnite returned to the iOS platform in Europe and to Android devices after being pulled over the disputes.
