That's just capitalism at work. It's best to have 100% off 100 sales than to share 30% off 100.000 sales.
Simple math, is all. 100% > 70%

OP updated ... congrats!
Can you add me too? I posted a pic of my 100% Sekiro some days ago
So I persevered with The Surge, managed to take out those security bots (kind of easy as long as you have enough space to constantly move around), and finished the third area.
This game is really nice, and you get into a nice flow after awhile. I still think the map is labyrinthine and shortcuts are strangely paced. At times you get a shortcut every five minutes, next you run around for an hour without finding any shortcuts at all.

World War Z passes 1 million copies sold in a week
Focus Home Interactive and Saber Interactive announced today that their co-op shooter World War Z has passed more than 1 million copies sold since April 16.

Another 'it sold well!' without citing numbers EGS 'hit'. And 70k for 3 plaftorms is kinda...not good. But hey they sold 1mil.

23+k per platform isn't too bad, but it's definitely not a smash hit by any metric. We'll see if it's going to grow or die faster than Artifact.World War Z passes 1 million copies sold in a week

Game was pretty cheap for some regions outside the US, that might explain why the game sold worst on US, for a store that focused on the US market, thats not very good.

another statement that says absolutely nothing
they make it sound like it's "similar numbers per each platform" ... but then you look closer and that's just concurrent players .... ZERO info about platform split
and then of course you have to remember that all the "influencers" are also counted in that "similar distribution" split (and to become one you only need like 1000 followers on twitter, which is nothing)
so ... yeah ...
It would help if they mention how many copies sold on EGS, regardless of region.World War Z passes 1 million copies sold in a week

Unless they are saving it for an official financial report or some shit.

... at least 23k
although - possibly less since they count all the influencers who got the game for free towards that number as well in other words - we simply have no idea
At least you guys will get Steam keys for your upcoming Bethesda games
yes it does and it makes me sad we will probably never get another one
A breakdown of the platfoems would help. I think it would be something like PS4 > PC > Xbox... at least 23k
in other words - we simply have no idea
Edit: for some reason I quoted the wrong post and said the same you said in the post you quoted me, oops.
I wish someone leaked agreements between pubs and Epic, I'm pretty sure there's an NDA in play so that no one looks at Sweeney and thinks what a madman he is.
Epic also doesn't offer any services (for now) to developers that benefit users. (Their "online services" seemingly only consist of hardware survey)
Leaderboards? Host your own
Stats? Host your own
Matchmaking? Host your own
It works, but how long will dev pay for servers? Games using Steam will work until Steam goes down.
Once game stops making money, you might as well close servers.
Even Sony does this and they charge monthly fee.
And people defend this in age of virtualization where you can spin instances only when someone actually plays game, run many instances on single server or rent 4CPU 8GB for $0.102 per hour. (and run multiple instances on that)
With 8 players, 20 minutes match that's less than $0.005 per hour per gamer or around 2000 hours for monthly cost of PSN monthly sub.
And that's assuming one instance of game needs 4 CPUs and 8GB memory, which it probably doesn't.
But without accounting for storage or bandwidth and that no time is wasted between games.
But point was that it's really not that significant. Yet people still seem to think servers are super expensive rocket science.
Of course for single indie dev $10 is a lot if game is not making any money.
Aren't they bethesda net keys though?. Steam copies only from Steam.

Trying to extract hard sales info for EGS is kind of a puzzle game on itself
The "with very similar distribution" being about the concurrent players is really sneaky... eesh.
So again, we know nothing concrete about EGS sales. However, between using "influencers" and the multiplayer focus, my guess is that this is very frontloaded and if that's the case those aren't very impressive numbers.
And as always I find the fact that the store that has the guy from SteamSpy as one it's faces is trying so hard to hide the numbers ironic... to say the least.
So copies actually purchased of the PC ver. of the game are 23,000 copies or less.... at least 23k
in other words - we simply have no idea
The exact number of copies purchased by paying customers is unknown.
One wonders how many copies Risk of Rain 2 and Forager, at least have sold thus far. Someone should contact the developers and ask if they could share this info.
Not in the case of Wolfenstein: Youngblood/Cyberpilot. At least that's what Bethesda told to retailers so far.
It's still unknown for Rage 2 though.
We need a sort of...spy service...you say?

if it was on steam - yeah, probably ... without steam, though ... eh, i'm not so sure
but maybe that's also true even without steam ... who knows
corporations always try their hardest to hide numbers when they're bad ...
nah, they're probably way more than that .... 100k maybe? i would be EXTREMELY surprised if it was anywhere near 300k tbh
A long time ago, I heard a story of a man named Sergey, legends say that he was an absolute unit, a cunning warrior who was as strong as he was smart, I wonder what happened to him?

I tried playing Dishonored 2 last month and it didn't grab me at all. I never finished the first one but got like halfway through. I only got through the first real level. The island asylum or whatever. Should I power through? Combat seemed pretty poor, stealth was pretty standard, stories dumb, is level design the big thing that's actually worthwhile? I'm pretty picky about games but I enjoyed both Deus Ex and Prey. Although I never finished Prey either.
This was my (rejected) challenge idea. There was no shlooting or anime involved proving you are all full of dumb prejudices.

It also seems they didn't get any money up front, unlike Coffee Stain.

Looks like he is lying to himself to try and feel better about the deal that they made with Epic, its kinda sad...
Ah, if they didn't get money upfront how the hell did they secured stability? Sweeney paid in stock? Diamonds? Baby blood?Rebel Galaxy Outlaws devs claiming that there's no difference between 1st party and 3rd party exclusives
