Epic still has to pay the developers even if they give away the game for free. I’m happy to help bleed Epic dry by taking their free games. But I will never ever spend a single cent on their platform.

You’re lying to yourself. They pay a fixed amount for the giveaway and it doesn’t matter if the games are claimed. If anything, you owning a game on Epic means you’re more likely to mention it to your friends and possibly get them to use the platform and spend on it.

They pay a fixed amount based on expected/average number of units given away. If that number is higher, devs can get more money.

Can you provide any evidence for this? The documents from the Apple trial showed fixed and round figures for every single giveaway.
