I'm actually surprised that they didn't get some of those. That said ... trying to get PUBG ...
Lol at all of these games being miles away from recouping their minimum guarantees.
correct
nope, it means they don't get a penny from egs sales until they re-earn the money Tim gave them for egsclusivity
Man those numbers are bad (while i don't know the period of time they cover).
For example, on steam detroid has (at the time of posting this) 22261 reviews,
if we follow the 20~60 rule that leaves the game at something between: 445220~1335660.

Remember how Snapshot games expected Phoenix Point to sell 1 million copies within the first year? I'm extremely happy that pc gamers voted with their wallets against these sellouts.
I wonder which other games didn't sell close to the MG expectations. Keep those leaks coming!
Wow. I can't believe those MGs. Those devs made out like bandits. I wonder what they paid for Shenmue.
Detroit was 6 months, right? I wonder if that 10mm counts for all the games.

But isn’t that the same for PP too? So why specify the 12 months?correct

Mechwarriors devs literally stated they sold "houndred of thousands" of copies.
I think one of the earlier documents said that the first exclusives had the 12 months recoup but later was changed to a lifetime recoup model.
My guess is that's because they were not recouping anything in the first 12 months.
i believe PP signed the deal earlier than those other 2 ... and the earlier deals were indeed for 12 months, not lifetime recoup
Technically they did, they just forgot to mention they sold those copies to Epic instead of selling to customers.
i think they were doing pre-orders on their website before they announced they aren't releasing on steam ... so they probably counted those in
I find it hilarious that Phoenix Point's exclusivity cost Epic nearly three times as much as Tony Hawk.
might be because they had to sell out all their KS backers
also another reason - i'm fairly sure (like 95% sure) THPS was supposed to be the first bnet exclusive (instead of Crash 4) and activision wasn't exepcting to make much money out of it on PC anyway (they might be greedy, but they're not stupid - there's no way in hell they thought a non-cod bnet exclusive would sell gangbusters) - hence the $4m
interesting stuff, from which document is this? Couldn't find it in the Box archive
2600% preorders increase..
zooms in.....
Some free games Epic tried to get: (but failed)
Looks like Epic uses shamelessly Steam as shopping platform
PUBG
Resident Evil 2 (Remake)
Dead by Daylight
Euro Truck Sim 2
Mortal Kombat 11
Insurgency Sandstorm
No Man's Sky
Europa Universalis IV
Two Point Hospital
Astroneer
Hunt Showdown
Hidden content
That is how we end up with empty folders such as this one from yesterday:
Thanks, man.DX-3399 Redacted.pdf - AnonFiles
anonfiles.com
did we know that total free games buyout in 2020 was 100 million dollars? (only 11 mio without test flight event)
I had missed that:
That would leave $89m cost for test flight event:
Assuming: Handsome Collection + CIV 6 was $31m per:
So $58m for
- Conan Exiles
- GTA V
- ARK Surival Evolved
Assuming $1.5m for each CE & ARK
estimated GTA V cost:
$55 m
Unless I missed some game?
I'm honestly amazed Steam hasn't nuked the most wishlisted page/API/whateverLooks like Epic uses shamelessly Steam as shopping platform
So what you're saying here is if I want to support the devs instead of spending on EGS because of a 88/12 split, I can go pirate the game and then buy it on Steam?
Nah, no need to kick them while their down.Post this pic on their Twitter and ask them?
Not sure of the time period for this. I'm thinking some time in early 2020 before COVID lockdowns were widespread.
Edit: I think "Stellula" might be Farming Simulator '19 as the name refers to a game published by Focus Home and Epic gave that game away in late January 2020. So probably late January/early February.

True.
Stellula is Farming Simulator 2019.

Fall Guys was supposed to come to EGS in Q4 2020.
Yeah I checked that site. Also looking at some other names, Eel probably refers to Kingdom Come: Deliverance and Albacore refers to some Ubisoft game. Looking over some news articles, KC: D was an EGS freebie in early February 2020 so it's probably in that same time range.True.

well at least now we know how they're planning on supporting that 12% ... by farming and selling customer dataHmm
That itch.io really backfired.
Also, looks like epic will decide what appears in the front page.
I... wouldn't put it above them.
When it was ready to come to EGS, it wasn't in the Zeitgeist anymore and Epic shunned them :>
Fall Guys was supposed to come to EGS in Q4 2020.
I missed that table for some reason.
Epic is getting bargains on Ubisoft games. I'm pretty sure they only paid $64k for For Honor.
And For Honor cost $63 k. cf. News - Epic Games StoreNot sure whether Troy figures were known.
EGS is a trap to catch lapsed Fornite players.
Same with Fall Guys x Fortnite.
Same with Rocket League.

I mean, given how they got a lot of their user data originally (scraping steam APIs) this should come as no shock to anyone
Ive always said that with those free games, you are the product!
Behavior during the first 5 days (of what?*) w.r.t. wishlists is different from behavior w.r.t. purchases: Borderlands 3 is the best-selling game on EGS, and only comes fourth in terms of wishlists.
*it could be the first 5 days after the store page was published.
I also appreciate the fact that people wishlist the upcoming free game of the week. :lul:
Risks for EGS staff (no idea what MIT means):

Fortnite concurrent #s on EGS are really low from these leaks. I thought they would be much bigger.
But it explains why they only make 8% of all revenue on PC now.
CSGO and Dota 2 on Steam are both bigger than Fortnite on EGS.
After Broken Fang the CSGO #s are probably doubling the Fortnite #s. I don't see how they expect to make EGS grow and be profitable if Fortnite is declining. I'm more and more leaning towards them raising that 12% cut to 20% or something like that. Otherwise EGS will never be profitable.
Also if Playstation made 46% of all revenue in 2018/2019...then peak Fortnite #s on PS4 must have been 2-3 million. Really crazy.
