People have a lot of strong opinions about Epic Games, but you have give them credit for passing some of the benefits of their massive success onto developers and customers. For instance, Epic just announced that they’ll be permanently reducing the cost of Fortnite’s V-Bucks premium currency by 20 percent. That means 1000 V-Bucks will now cost $8 instead of $10. Would you ever catch EA or Activision doing something like that? Not in a million years.

Now, of course, as with everything Epic does, this move isn’t entirely altruistic. This is largely a “screw you” to Google and Apple, as Epic head honcho Tim Sweeney has long criticized them for skimming 30 percent off the top of every Google Play and App Store purchase. Epic is now offering “direct payment,” which bypasses Google and Apple’s fees, and they’re passing some of the savings on to the consumer. And hey, in order to keep everyone on the same page, PC and console players are getting the discount too.
