A Grand Opportunity to Draw In Challengers Into the World of Fortnite: Wallet the act, 20% of the money are to be returned as Epic Rewards. Well, that is like one-fourth free money. Well, kinda.
So here’s the tryst: Buy 9$’ worth of anything and get 1,000 V-Bucks with $1.80 flowing back in your wallet as Epic Refunds. Another order of 90$ for 13,500 V-Bucks? Bam! You’ll get $18 back. It doesn’t stop there- any real-money pack, whether a crew subscription or a cosmetic bundle, is a legitimate case of refunds with no excuse for not applying. If you are dropping real loot in Fortnite, Epic will make sure that they will return one-fifth of it to you.
Why the rave? Believing in Epic’s fire is their payment system to avoid those irritating Apple and Google store fees. Does the name lawsuit ring any bell? Yes, it is their promotional means: instead of the middle platform, pay through Epic and enjoy rewards! Genius? Certainly. Desperation? Maybe a bit. But hey, who is complaining about free money?
A big warning though: Before you roll your sleeves up and empty your wallet, there is a catch. Are there ever not? Those rewards can’t be cashed straight out-they are Epic Rewards repayable only on… you got it, more Fortnite stuff. So it’s like store credit. But hey, if you’re planning to get those skins or battle passes anyway, it’s basically like a discount after some hopping.
Let’s be honest: Fortnite players love their cosmetics! The game is essentially a digital fashion show now. So, even if the rewards are locked into Epic’s eco-system, it’s not gonna stop anyone. The real question is whether this will get players to seriously ditch Apple/Google payments. I mean, 20% back is nice, but is it enough to break the convenience of one-click purchases?
Oh, and by the way, does anyone want to know: This isn’t some kind of limited-time offering. This profit will be forever. So no FOMO here.
Bottom line: If you spend money on Fortnite, a free-earn program is your best offer. Free money is free money, even if from monopoly land. Just don’t expect them to pay your rent unless you know of a landlord who accepts V-Bucks (Spoiler: They don’t).
So yeah, happy shopping to all, and may your locker stay insta-worthy. Or something like that.
