20 bucks a month over the duration of a development cycle could be pretty significant. This will basically allow people to develop their game to the point where success or failure could be predicted, and Epic will miss out on the development cycle revenues from the failures.

Even if you cancel your subscription you are obligated by the original agreement to give Epic a royalty that is %5 of gross revenue.
