Because the standard deal is 12 months, RDR2 and BL3 are the exceptions and you shouldn't expect those to happen often.The thing that puzzles me the most is why devs and EGS continue doing the 1 year exclusivity. I figured the Borderlands 3 and RDR2 1-6 months would be norm by now.
Devs should know by now EGS doesn't have the userbase or the customer base to keep your game selling for an entire year without bargain bin coupon bullshit. EGS doesn't have any discovery tools either. I feel like nobody wins with 12 months time. Epic is basically doing buyback programs and devs not making good revenue with their PC versions.
By the time their games come to steam they really are old news. And if they didn't review well or have some type of good WoM then its pretty much dead a year later. Take less money but at least 1-6 months feels like a period where devs can really recover with updates and steam launch imo.

A game snatched from Steam:the first one give me error what it is?
Cause you get more money for long deals. In the end, BL3 and RDR2 show more that EGS doesnt have an infinite money bag, and the requirements for a 1 year exclusivity for GAAS AAA games is quite high (because they are interested also in the long term SALES of the game as they drive mtx and repeted money). Really interested how much money Epic gave Ubi for their coexclusivity. How would that appear in Ubisoft financial reports?The thing that puzzles me the most is why devs and EGS continue doing the 1 year exclusivity.

This is something I would really want to know, perhaps madjoki, you and me could join forces to investigate this?Really interested how much money Epic gave Ubi for their coexclusivity. How would that appear in Ubisoft financial reports?
Given the numbers they recently released they're almost certainly loosing tons of money on the Epic Games store. They're burning money on free games, exclusives and coupons while making a tiny 12% cut and when developers release numbers for PC their EGS sales are almost always a tiny sliver of the total sales. It would be interesting to know how far in the red they are on the EGS.I wonder how EGS is hurting these days. Looking at the current top 5 global sellers on Steam, only 1 of them is on EGS (Warhammer 3) and that game is without a doubt not selling on EGS much at all.
It's very possible they just lump it in with PC revenue and we don't know unfortunately.This is something I would really want to know, perhaps madjoki, you and me could join forces to investigate this?
Who the heck are dumb enough to buy Total War Warhammer 3 on EGS? There is a great benefit for owning the two prior games as you get access to the additional free campaign/mega map.I wonder how EGS is hurting these days.

I guess publishers know the pipeline to free money for their trash that won't sell is still open for business.
Another smash hit for Epic and Nacom.
Yeah if you know your game is likely going to be bad and sell poorly might as well cut a deal and dump it on the Epic Game Store.I guess publishers know the pipeline to free money for their trash that won't sell is still open for business.
I wouldn't be surprised if Epic gave away a shitload of DLC for free. At least that's what I would do if I was them.Who the heck are dumb enough to buy Total War Warhammer 3 on EGS? There is a great benefit for owning the two prior games as you get access to the additional free campaign/mega map.
I think it's a given TWW 1 and 2 will be freebies at some point this year. If they actually get their shopping cart online, they could probably do a coupon deal to help sell DLC too.I wouldn't be surprised if Epic gave away a shitload of DLC for free. At least that's what I would do if I was them.

"We'll have a quality standard that doesn't accept crappy games," he said. "We'll accept reasonably good quality games, of any scale"
Embracer buying Epic when?
If Epic goes IPO, the shares would come out of Tim's <60% majority hold (I think tencent isn't the only shareholder, some other peoples/corps have a few percent of Epic)
8 millions accounts, not necessarily peopleI'd be surprised if Epic went public. A board of directors would probably frown upon some of Tim's more eccentric directives, like intentionally getting kicked off mobile app stores and refusing to be reinstated while in the middle of a lawsuit.
Unless I am unaware of another giveaway, I think this means 8 million people redeemed Elite: Dangerous during the EGS free week (12 million owners minus 4 million sales).
Damage control ? "Free" advertising ?There are more Epic Store exclusives coming over the next 2 years than have released so far
We only know about a handful of upcoming exclusives right now, which suggests there are a lot of unannounced games.www.pcgamer.com
I don't really see the reason why this article was made.
Yeah dude, compared to ZERO, 265 million is huge. Seriously, this guy is a professional ? Is this for real ?So, how's it going? Well, Epic says that it sold $265 million worth of third-party games on the Epic Store in 2020. Compared to a couple years ago, when Epic didn't have a PC game store at all, that's a huge increase.
Ok, he's being "honest" on the small increase.Compared to 2019, however, it's an increase of around 5.6 percent—Epic Store users spent $251 million on third-party games that year, which was store's first full year of existence. (These revenue numbers ignore the cost of coupons and advance payments to developers, which is how Epic secures exclusives.)
Right now, though, Epic is all about getting more people onto its platform, not making money—Fortnite covers that—and in that regard things appear to be going very well.
"We have more exclusives coming in the next two years than we have published to date," a company representative told PC Gamer when asked about its exclusivity strategy for the near future.I don't really see the reason why this article was made.
wtf kind of quote is this, absolutely embarrassing stuff. If I wrote something like this at my work I'd be laughed atSo, how's it going?

This Tyler guy has been shilling for Epic with ridiculous statements from the very beginning. Embarrassing is an understatement, but his nonsense generates many clicks I guess...wtf kind of quote is this, absolutely embarrassing stuff. If I wrote something like this at my work I'd be laughed at
You may be right. I hope you're right. But why would Epic say otherwise to a journalist? More empty promises isn't gonna help their reputation.Here we go, I guess a 2020 full of empty reels (or no reels at all) and a clear descend of Exclusive numbers is not enough for people to not worry.
Will there be exclusives this year? of course there will be exclusives, it's not going to be 0 when we already got the monkey barrels game.
Will there be the same amount in 2019? no way.
Will there be big ones? 1, maybe 2. but I wouldn't expect anything really big.
I expect that Epic is going for permanent exclusivity using their publishing label. Their terms are really good for developers, and if they can get bigger devs like Remedy on board, they won't have any problems convincing the most popular indies to accept their offer as well.Of course Epic are going to have exclusives, but the onus is on developers to approach Epic. That means we're going to see publishers doing what they did in 2020 - hawk their terrible-looking games or ones they know are going to flop off to Epic.
There will be a few promising exclusives, like Hitman 3, but those will be in the minority. Most developers and publishers know what EGS entails now. If your game is going to sell badly on Steam you might as well not sell copies exclusively on EGS instead.
Because people already think their store isn't going anywhere near their competitors and they are already labeling this PR strategy as a damage control?But why would Epic say otherwise to a journalist? More empty promises isn't gonna help their reputation.
I'd respect them more if they had a bigger financial stake in the games. Also, we'll see how well exclusivity goes when they not only need to profit on the games that actually release, but all the ones they took a risk on that didn't work out.[UWSL]I xpect that Epic is going for permanent exclusivity using their publishing label.

Remedy getting in bed with yet another Platform provider is nothing special. Did they ever have a game that was NOT exclusive to a system?I expect that Epic is going for permanent exclusivity using their publishing label. Their terms are really good for developers, and if they can get bigger devs like Remedy on board, they won't have any problems convincing the most popular indies to accept their offer as well.
What definitely changed the potential outcome is that many (if not most) popular independent AA and AAA developers have been bought by big companies like Embracer and Microsoft. In other words: there isn't much left for Epic to publish...Their publishing brand is, once again, difficult to predict as we don't know how are they going to use those, keep in mind that the numbers of 2020 might have changed the potential outcomes
Hopefully no major exclusives announced.
That's all this is, really. Fuck store exclusivity.Epic Store Will Have More Exclusives Than Ever In 2021/2022 News
More EGS exclusives are coming soon folks. I'm more interested in their publishing investments, studios will greatly benefit from their support and that's good.www.resetera.com
WOW SO MANY FREE GAMES
Wow an increase of infinite% vs Steam's measly 20% growth last year, Valve is in trouble nowwtf kind of quote is this, absolutely embarrassing stuff. If I wrote something like this at my work I'd be laughed at
