I'd assume the "sales potential" of a game.
This is a shit show, and I love it.
Nintendo Specifically Bars Japanese Partners From Working With the Yakuza - IGN
Documents released during the Epic vs. Apple trial have revealed that the Japanese company won’t work with partners tied to organized crime.
Even Nintendo is getting dragged into this.
Even r/games is waking up to how anti-consumer Sony is. They are slowly realizing that just because something makes business sense for a company doesn't mean you have to be okay with it. That's as good as it gets.
Reading up on this case after work has made my day.
I am curious of Epic's 2020 numbers, I assume they wouldn't be that great considering their end of year graph and covid affecting a lot of releases. I'm more interested in their numbers this year since to see if they did hit it as big as they did with Borderlands 3 since they did start out with some big exclusives.
Yay for some juicy leaked documents though.

Rumour: Leading Japanese Game Company Kidnapped Dev's Sister To Stop Them From Working With Nintendo
Lmao
Not trying to be funny but what were the big exclusives of 2020 apart from the ubi games?
What about 2021?
Fair enough. I guess I'm a lucky guy since they aren't poaching stuff I like/want so I never know what's being held ransom
And Monkey Barrels and the mouse indie game, I think that's about it.
How to unintentionally burn bridges and lose business partners
I said the game industry would be furious at Epic by time this was all over due to all the disclosures. I'm sure Sony are delighted that their trade secrets are out in public because of Epic's publicity stunt.
Apple don't fuck around and they are going totally scorched earth with this.

Eonden didn't die for nothing.
suddenly 30% is fine cause they are highlited
FFVIIR I'm actually looking to play but it wouldn't be all that suprising to see Square sign another exclusivity deal. If it ends up on EGS with no DRM I'll just sail the high seas like I did with KH3.
Volvo listen up
suddenly 30% is fine cause they are highlited
If a game appears featured you get 30% of the sales if not you get 12%. I'm a genius and fixed the "problem"
Well at least we know there is an unannounced Paradox exclusive or something like that? 
could just be a game giveaway dealWell at least we know there is an unannounced Paradox exclusive or something like that?
This is way, way more entertaining than any trial has any right to be. Far funnier and more light-hearted than anything the EGS has treated us to so far.
I didn't expect this trial to be this fun and intense to follow.
Proof that EGS is unsustainable. It's used as a trojan horse.
There is a joke here with the Total War: Troy being egs exclusive, just give me some time to figure it out
I really am in awe of all of this.
At every turn it's worse than I expected:
All this cos Epic wants to save some money through a veil of sheer hypocrisy
I thought this would be boring and instead
At every turn it's worse than I expected:
- documents being released into the public domain? "Oh isn't it just stuff that 3rd parties have submitted as they've been called as witnesses?" Nope it's internal docs
- "are the internal docs supposed to have been released?" Nope, they were just somehow released by accident
- sales figures for EGS are low? "Yeah that's not surprising thoug--oh my god they're really THAT LOW???"

Every idea of a metaverse, considering it would be in the hands of a massive corporation is inherently creepy.
Sweeny just straight up admitted that his goal is to exploit children by making impulse buying easier.
Epic when the lawsuit started and were doing PR:
"4 THE DEVS, FREEDOM FOR ALL"
Epic under oath:
"Fuck them kids, give me the money"
"4 THE DEVS, FREEDOM FOR ALL"
Epic under oath:
"Fuck them kids, give me the money"
Ahhh the good ol' "Fuck you I got mine" mentality
In that case 30% is also fine for games that are promoted in banners or discovery queues on Steam?[UWSL]suddenly 30% is fine cause they are highlited [/UWSL]
Yea it was clear that there were no good intentions behind either egs or anything sweeney has done since then. But nice to have it in the open now clearly.
Sweeney exposing his anus on the stand - what a trial this has turned out to be!
I honestly, 150%, totally, unequivocally did not see this coming from a mile away.
