Easy when most purchases are over $5.
I've really enjoyed the game but everything is too expensive for what your actually getting. Only thing of value is the battle pass imo.

Are we talking about BR? What is "all content"? They have thousands of dollars worth of cosmetics and that ain't happening.
Fortnite really has supplanted itself as one of the Big Two in terms of Battle Royale-based games, especially since they've been able to capitalize on the issues that PUBG is facing.
The Funko Pops are perfect for this game with all the different BR and STW skins. My spending is limited to Battle Passes and skins I can purchase with my Paragon refund, I'm set for a good while.
The game is an incredible success story, congratulations to Epic.
Now they just need to figure out their competitive situation. No Battle Royale game has gotten it right as far as I'm concerned.

Tbh Fornite's battle pass is the best microtransaction I've ever seen. The game is free and if you buy the battle pass and play the game it gives you enough credits to buy future battle passes for no additional charge.
Not if the free model was available (if not sure, but probably wouldn't be as likely to buy Battlepasses), I'm more than happy just buying the battlepasses and ignoring the skins though.
If it unbalances the game, yes. Otherwise the market has said that cosmetics are perfectly fine.
It's about as "early access" as gmail was "in beta" for all those years lol

It's kind of crazy that a game made to show off UE4 tech is probably making them more money that all the royalties and the marketplace transactions combined.
On top of that this game was totally average before they added the battle royal mode and probably would have flopped.
I hope the profit sharing is good at Epic. Everyone should be getting 100k bonuses at least.

What's really surprising to me is the amount of people that buy all 100 Tier Levels at the Start of the Season. Season 3 and 4 were both full of people rocking the Final Tier 100 skin, which means that they must have bought 90-100 Tiers for money and that's 1.50$ per Tier.
Absolutely crazy either way.

Damn that's just the ingame microtransactions excluding the money from selling the many Save The World editions which released before the BR mode too

Last number they provided was 125 million and it isn't openly available on Android or out in China yet, I believe it launches China this week actually. There was a WeGame teaser post (Tencent's game launcher)
Cosmetics in F2P games are perfectly fine.
Shit I just dropped another $8 on Paladins for the Battlepass
