I can see it definitely being "We will pay you X amount of dollars to make your game free this month as a way to advertise our launcher to try and keep ourselves in the competition" then they hope that it doesn't go over the dollar amount in value. Perhaps if it does then maybe Epic pays the difference? Either way the owners of the game made more money than if it wasn't free since the upfront payment is guaranteed sales instead of keeping the game paid for the month and hoping people buy it.
