Epic: "The one-dollar app kill us"

As stated by the president of Epic Games, Mike Capps, IndustryGamers a business model based on selling $ 1 games on smartphones is a threat to the industry. "The one-dollar app are killing us. How do you sell a $ 60 game, though quality, when people are accustomed to spending less than a dollar?" "Epic is in the business for 20 years, and we've never seen a period so uncertain, in fact we do not know what will happen in the future.

In 10 or five years there will still distributing games on physical media? People will still be subject to the next generation of consoles? What will happen on your PC? You can earn on a PC without publishing an online game? What will happen on mobile platforms? ". "In the past we thought: PlayStation 3 will succeed because the PS2 has sold an incredible number of units.

But we are sure that people want to move to the next generation of platforms? I hope so, we are creating great technologies that will drive consumers in this direction , but the future is scary. "
