This has been announced as an exclusive centuries ago though (sometime in 2020).

It seems like Epic disabled the ability to see the number of ratings when you search for a game on Google.
Epic also updated GraphQL queries to remove that field, however by using old query, you can still access the data.
So for now, my script is still updating the data successfully.

So let me get this straight, EGS was mostly lead by a guy who built his career on scraping data from Steam, now does everything to stop data scraping from EGS. Iiiiiiinteresting.
EGS was always done to make it hard to datamine.
I had honestly never heard of this game. EGS marketing black hole strikes again I guess
It was in one of those exclusive EGS reels on in 2020, but I got far less interested in it when understanding it became a bit of a roguelike. I don't really like my horror games to be roguelikes, doesn't fit the genre really.I had honestly never heard of this game. EGS marketing black hole strikes again I guess

I am honestly a little shocked they thought that far ahead given the state of every other aspect of the store/client.
Epic Games is now copying Splatoon.
They ripped off Among Us last year. Heck, Fortnite Battle Royale was just a ripoff of PUBG. It's to be expected with Epic at this point. 
So this is how Tim is going to make the Metaverse, by blatantly ripping off every other game out there.
The whole point of metaverses is that they’re all-consuming and shamelessly strip other things of their context and incorporate them into itself.
This is inevitable for all of them.
Kind of a pointless tidbit, but Sins of a Solar Empire 2 has been on Epic's servers since May 2020. That's still around the time they were signing a bunch of of exclusives, but starting to ween off them as they had announced their publishing label a few months prior.
Well, this pretty much confirms that most of their exclusivity efforts stopped around this time as we suggested in the past, no wonder why we are still seeing things popping-up from that moment, essentially games that weren't ready to be confirmed at the time but they signed it.
Yeah, I wouldn't expect them to get too many things now as we have seen. Some small stuff? sure, some games will go EGS exclusive for a year still but overall? I wouldn't count with reels nor things like that.
I still wouldn't be surprised if they go after GTA 6 as an exclusive. If there's one game that would drive people to EGS, it's that. Take-Two would probably ask hundreds of millions (maybe even a billion?) for a deal, and even then it probably wouldn't be over a few months as the longest T2 deal was Borderlands 3. Of course that's years(?) away from even hypothetically happening.
That game is years away, If the store is still going I don't see them burning that much for a "co-exclusivity" (god, I hate that word) with the Rockstar launcher that I'm 100% sure would undercut them in someway. And then all the (obviously coming) mtx would go throught the RL, dunno sounds like a bad deal sure get more users for a while, and then they get to use the RL. But it's so far away that any prediction now is meaningless so
GTA6 will be an exclusive, but not to EGS. It’s R* Launcher’s time to shine.
It's hard work to continue to be the most creatively bankrupt game of all time, but Epic's willing to go all out for it on Fortnite. Have to respect that.
Wow 11 collections, do not get too generous there.
Feels like another check-the-box feature rather than something completely built out.
I only need 2 collections.
Shitty games I got for free.
Games I got for free to buy in the next Steam Sale.

Yeah. The 11 collections is a bit small. But I would love a way to rearrange my games in steam.
I'm sure i could eventually think of 11 collections for the 1 game i have on EGS. lol
That game i claimed because we needed to test the EGS Store for work
Games set on Mars i got for Free
Space Games i got for Free

The feature is probably useful but these low limits are really bizarre. Reminds of the PS5 and its a maximum of 15 folders or 100 wishlist items.
IMAGINE HOW MUCH DATABASE IT REQUIRES FOR ALL 11 COLLECTIONS FOR 100 MILLION USERS!
Maybe add monthly fee for more?

Am I missing something here? Doesn't Steam have this for some time now, like two years?
If they do, I missed it. I thought it was alphabetical order. I’ll have to actually go and have a look now.
Ah, no I already do that bit.Have fun
I was specifically talking about being able to rearrange games inside my library. Like when you have games that suddenly drop any numbering or go from Roman numerals to numbered. That’s what I am after
And you can rename games in EGS like this? From the tweet above nothing indicates that.
As expected, EGS fully blocked access to ratings data
A weird decision IMO. Having votes listed showed up in Google search results portion that shows review scores on platforms which would have helped SEO. Also less informed users would see that a game has 1000 reviews on Steam and 500 votes on EGS and think the EGS version is doing pretty well (although the review and votes systems are so wildly different, I've seen that discussion on Reddit).
There's a lot of things that could have helped the SEO for EGS games, but Epic doesn't seem to care.
Epic will rather party streamers shill with referrals code...
Now that I have started to stream... where's my money Epic!
The check must have bounced.
I still cannot believe Epic is cool with associating themselves with NFTs given the sheer amount of backlash over the past year and the reality that they do not need any bad press or associations with their store. Articles like this are the last thing they need... At this point they just better hope that none of these blockchain/NFT games goes full scam and brings Epic's association into question.
Speculation time:
I speculate Epic wants to lean into the, "your game inventory is cross-platform/store/game," leveraging EOS/Epic accounts to achieve cross-inventory. Epic may be lending very soft support to NFTs and blockchain since they are touted for cross-inventory reasons as to why they should be added into video games. If the idea takes off, Epic is already positioned to throw itself into supporting cross-inventory, though probably divorced of anything blockchain related. Whatsmore, if NFTs/blockchain themselves are accepted, then it could give Epic another Trojan horse means of getting this to work on the Apple, Google, and console stores while bypassing some of the store fees they are trying to cut out. Even more tinfoil hat speculation time, I think partly why Tim says the tech has potential, he means the potential at being able to have a point of sale occur on the Epic store, while the user can still use their purchase anywhere and everywhere seamlessly, including on platforms that Tim feels are currently blocking the company's plans like Apple devices. Apple getting ahead of this and requiring NFTs to go through their payment methods is exactly what he did not want to happen since it results in the worst of both worlds, shutting the door at this being able to lead to another possibility of bypassing Apple/Google AND now having to support NFT/blockchain games on your store, risking PR issues.
There are at least two more ponzi scheme games coming to Epic, that trash western game that announced it like it was a partnership with Epic and this one:

Epic published so it will probably never come to Steam.
Also, unless I'm missing something, Trails from Zero didn't even reach the top 100 on the EGS charts yesterday. It's been hanging around the 10-15 position on Steam the past day and is #3 on GOG. Maybe the EGS charts didn't update yesterday. I haven't really much attention to them since they removed F2P games from the top sellers.

New NFT game.
That sounds...fun?
Lol can you be more "pay to win" than that.
They barely show any clear gameplay in the videos for the game and they blur a lot of stuff.
NFT games on EGS might not take off as previously expected.
