    I’m just wondering if Epic pays a flat fee for unlimited copies, or if they actually pay per key. Even in the flat fee scenario, I think devs would ask for a higher payout if they could expect a higher number of claims.

    So yeah, I’ll keep doing it until I hear a good reason not to.

      I don’t know much about it, but I read something about epic paying for “minimums”, so it sounds like they pay a flat fee up to a certain number of “sales”, then pay per-unit (or at least pay more) beyond that. But, like you said, more “free” games claimed is more units shifted, so publishers will expect higher fees, even if it’s a flat fee.
