Congrats to the Celeste devs for getting paid by Epic.
Depends whether you need to work 500 years to earn it or sell one trash fortnite emote for 10 minutes to get $200 mil.146 million spondooles on Borderlands 3
Not worth it
Seeing Epic's net income shrink back quite significantly after the ludicrous 2018 is heartening.
Because Sony makes biggest money?
If Sony had removed Fortnite, they'd lose way more.
They can use this case to persuade special cut from Sony or just hoping someone else uses it to sue Sony (if they win).
they have less to lose from Apple and Playstation is the main revenue source for Fortnite, they'd be crazy to go for Sony
The worst that will come out of the Apple case is less money, at best they can open their system and eventually make a case for other closed systems

Nearly half of Fortnite's revenue comes from Playstation. Epic wouldn't dare bite the hand that feeds them.
Man, with the non-existing transparency the last decades, all of the companies involved (Apple and Epic) and thrown into it (Valve, Sony, Google, Microsoft, and all the other companies that Epic has business relations with) all of them must be really pissed at the documents, revenue, emails, etc. that are now open to the public.

If they win against Apple or manage to lobby for some change in the law I expect all the big AAAs and Epic to go into overdrive with their own game stores on every platform. Even those who currently don't have a PC store.
Not until they set a precedent somewhere or lobby for enough law changes.

I guess that makes sense. What a stupid lawsuit still. Getting kids involved in a social media campaign surrounding a corporate lawsuit... At least a Cyberpunk dystopia looked cool when I imagined it.
It will be given away for free... soon.

Nice
Humble Choice when?
Hopefully regional pricing won't suck. With Enhance being greedy enough to take up 3 exclusivity offers though, I kinda doubt it.
Today our legal team was eating popcorn while listening to the whole Epic vs Apple mess lmao
YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA!!!!

i imagine it's like a sports event for lawyers
Yeah but watch dogs is marked as an exclusive tooWas it an exclusive? It is on Uplay as well.
Buy cheap Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint CD Key 🏷️ Best Price
Compare Prices from 20 stores to find the Best Deals for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint Steam CD key. Buy the game 81% cheaper with GG.deals!gg.deals
For me, there is an M (or Y) on top of a W, so something like Modern Warfare would work.
It is not EGS exclusive though.
Buy cheap Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) CD Key 🏷️ Best Price

Enhanced a bit.
As I said indie developers for the most part are not good at doing business
Wonder if Rami is on the Dropped Frames podcast this week again. They would have much to discuss.
Yeah some of those numbers are LOW
Then again it’s bloody obvious some devs are bad at business when they don’t market their games and keep shouting about 30% cut
Absolutely awesome game. Everyone owes it to themselves to play this, especially if they have a VR headset or 4K HDR TV.
I think Super Meat Boy was the very first EGS freebie. Also Rami is right about indie devs needing to ask for more money.
Edit: Nevermind I lack basic reading skills.
They must have ran out of exclusivity deals

Am a lawyer, can confirmi imagine it's like a sports event for lawyers

I agree. My point was that McMillen realized that he could have asked for more between the SMB freebie and the TEiN freebie.
Actually, all of the devs who sold their game, which then resulted in a UAC of less than $1 were the most scammed. For instance, RiME and World of Goo.

On a scale of Junior High Finals to Superbowl, how does this rate?Am a lawyer, can confirm
Funny.
The game was removed from Steam in September 2020, and Epic earned more money from the Steam version in 2020 than in 2019.
I wonder what 2021 would look like.

Eh it's pretty boring so far because most of Sweeney's testimony so far consists of Epic's lawyers asking really basic questions like "what's an operating system" and "what's a console". It should get a lot more fun once Apple's lawyers start grilling him but I will probably be sleeping when the cross examination starts as it is almost midnight in my timezone.
I think RiME is one of the most egregious. World of Goo is a 13-year-old game, you can make an argument that it probably wouldn't have sold that much at this point any more. RiME is relatively new, clearly has much higher production costs, and sold for even less.
