This is just a quick question.
Does Pixeltailgames have to pay unreal engine for using unreal engine features and selling it on steam.
Or is it a free licence.
According to the site for Unreal, the license is free, but you have to pay 5% royalties for whatever you sell.
That means they’d have to pay Unreal ~$.75 for every copy of TU they sell on Steam.

That is true. In the past the engine costed $18 per month, but in order to fight the freemium aspect of the other engines (Unity 5 Free for example) they decided to go with something simpler and worth more in long term.
Yes, we have to pay them.
