![The pre-match UI that allows players to quickly lock in a creator code has also been removed, with no action required from creators. Creators are no longer allowed to promote SAC creator codes within their islands, so that island creators and social media creators each have an independent channel to profit from engagement and are incentivized to work together, rather than competing to convince players to enter their codes. Any new or updated islands will be required to remove mention of SAC creator codes starting March 22, 2023. With the removal of the Support-A-Creator device from islands, creators should reconsider player experiences that may no longer be necessary, such as reducing or removing matchmaking lobbies and/or sending players into the islands directly.](https://sac.epicgames.com>Support-A-Creator program</a> is returning to its roots as an affiliate marketing program for streamers and social media content creators. The SAC affiliate program is still available to those who meet its requirements. Weve removed the Support-A-Creator device from Fortnite Creative and all published islands as part of this change.</p>
<p>Engagement payouts are specifically designed to reward island creators who make great content using the Unreal Editor for Fortnite and Fortnite Creative tools. Unlike SAC, engagement payouts do not require code entries to reward creator success, and players support island creators simply by playing the experiences they already enjoy.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="MuiPaper-root MuiPaper-elevation MuiPaper-rounded MuiPaper-elevation0 MuiAccordion-root jss99 MuiAccordion-rounded MuiAccordion-gutters css-oy9fjk" data-panel="faq2" style="--Paper-shadow:none;--Paper-overlay:linear-gradient(rgba(255, 255, 255, 0), rgba(255, 255, 255, 0))"><h3 class="MuiAccordion-heading css-wnfue5"><button class="MuiButtonBase-root MuiAccordionSummary-root jss100 MuiAccordionSummary-gutters css-192k9fd" tabindex="0" type="button" aria-expanded="false" id="faq2"><span class="MuiAccordionSummary-content MuiAccordionSummary-contentGutters css-1b8uc0m"><h5 class="MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-h5 jss96 css-g4fym2">Do I need to remove the Support-A-Creator device or my Support-A-Creator code from my island?</h5></span><span class="MuiAccordionSummary-expandIconWrapper css-4ed95u"><img alt="collapse icon" loading="lazy" width="16" height="16" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" style="color:transparent" src="https://static-assets-prod.epicgames.com/creator-portal/static/one/_next/static/media/bold-plus.0f9c06df.svg"/></span></button></h3><div class="MuiCollapse-root MuiCollapse-vertical MuiCollapse-hidden css-abqyn" style="min-height:0px"><div class="MuiCollapse-wrapper MuiCollapse-vertical css-15830to"><div class="MuiCollapse-wrapperInner MuiCollapse-vertical css-9vd5ud"><div aria-labelledby="faq2" role="region" class="MuiAccordion-region"><div class="MuiAccordionDetails-root jss101 css-wx7l6u" style="transition:none"><div class="jss97"><p>We){kind=link}
All real money Fortnite purchases like V-Bucks Packs, retail V-Bucks gift cards, real money transactions like Starter Packs or Quest Packs, Fortnite Crew subscriptions, or other real-money offers contribute to Fortnite gross revenue.
When Fortnite offers are sold by third-parties, Fortnite net revenue is the funds received by Epic after third-party platform payment processing markups and fees are deducted by Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, Samsung, and other sellers of Fortnite offers. Other direct costs of goods sold, such as gift card manufacturing costs, are also deducted.
When Epic processes payments directly, such as the Epic Games Store on Windows and Android devices, Fortnite net revenue is the funds received by Epic after third-party credit-card, PayPal, and similar payment processing fees are deducted by payment service providers.
Once the month’s net revenue has been determined, 40% is sent to eligible island publishers, and the remaining 60% funds Fortnite ecosystem development by Epic.
Fortnite ecosystem costs include the creation of Fortnite’s codebase via software authorship, maintenance, service development and content design; all Fortnite brand game art, Item Shop cosmetic content, third-party IP licensing fees and merchandising; IT, hosting, and liveops server infrastructure/staffing; player acquisition, marketing, community management, and distribution; customer support and content moderation; Support-A-Creator affiliate payments.
