According to google valve is worth 12 billion and epic 30 billion….i thought it would be the other way around.Is it just the fartnite money and because of the unreal engine?

Because they are owned by investors. Valve is Private.

So epic is only more worth on paper

Tencent's investment.

They also get percentage from Unreal Engine licenses and Fortnut skins.

And Epic Store probably has some sales too, although last time it was said that they're in loss there with all the free give aways.

Although that's not really benefiting them, financially.

Also the fact that Epic's launcher apparently uses more memory than Steam last I checked.

I think the launcher itself weighs about 1 GB on the drive, but funnily there do exist much smaller open source projects that replace it entirely...

Errr, RAM memory when it's running was what I was referring to. I wasn't talking about storage. But that's interesting!

Epic has their fingers in a lot more pies.

Like every Disney ride, for instance.

That's why i call that launcher as Tencentware. If people don't see anything wrong about its size, "look at other game platform launcher sizes", then i won't continue.
