Huge boon for Epic here.
5% of Halo's revenue right off the top... That's a huge concession. I'd much rather be able to deliver 5% of revenue to employees as a salary bonus. Having to pay both salary + bonus + Epic... they're locking themselves into this for the foreseeable future.
To give you an idea of this... if Halo sold 20 million copies that would be 1.4 billion dollars in revenue. That is 70 million dollars to an outside company.
70 million is enough to fund a AAA game...
I wonder how they'll calculate the revenue of this when it ends up going directly to Game Pass. I bet it results directly in a lawsuit between Epic and Microsoft and in that lawsuit we'll probably end up seeing the revenue and profit numbers for GamePass.
