You need to buy the movement NFT set for that.Why does the character simply rotate on the spot? Is it not possible to move in the game?
Do you just swivel around, forever?
And like a true NFT there is only one movement set! Be the only player that can move in the game!You need to buy the movement NFT set for that.
'The cryptocurrency marketplaces that enable this kind of thing' - Is this one of those 'it's the same picture' moments and Tim is just gaslighting?
Indie games are remarkably absent in EGS' top 20...Speaking of sales, I don't know if this is intentional or an error, but the top sellers list has expanded to 240 entries.
This. I also don't see how this will prevent review bombing. Pissed off people will rate the game with 1 star, but aren't able to tell us why.Star rating is gonna be very useless.
EGS doesn't host bad games according to Timlove how all those emoji rating tags are all positive
Or the NFT game...“Great for younger audiences” - hope no one tags all the porn games Epic said would never appear on the store with that one.
So, about this showcase, what I think there will be showcased.
Why do you have that impression?Curious if Uncharted will be there and timed exclusive.
Just that the Epic date said june, while Steams api said july.Why do you have that impression?
EULA updated today on Steam and got another update a few hours ago.
No Sony game will be exclusive (or at least that's the way I see it ^^)
About that, keep in mind that API dates are placeholders most of the time, doesn't mean anythingJust that the Epic date said june, while Steams api said july.
Yeah, this is what I'm expecting, nothing too crazy tbh, perhaps one or two big titles and that's it.I'm skimming over the spring 2021 show and the mentioned games were:
-Bnary Smoke
-Kingdom Hearts
-Godfall
-Rocket League
-Rogue Company
-Core
-Dauntless
-CRSED
-Fortnite
-Warframe
-World of Warships
-Magic Legends
-Chivalry 2
-Oddworld Soulstorm
So I'm with Mor that it'll likely focus primarily on smaller games with possibly one big announcement. I can see PC Building SImulator 2's release date being "officially" revealed for June 22 as it was on that blog post with the Uncharted games.
Also, Goat Simulator 3 has been on the Epic servers since 2019, so the exclusivity deal must have been signed ages ago.
I could go for the Battle of Middle-Earth series.Only Lord of the Rings game I am really interested in is a re-release of the old EA RPG.
Not to say I was right, but, again, if you saw the trends and how they have been acting, it was easy to guess that it wouldn't be focused on Exclusives but publishing if anything at all.Mor was spot on.
Goat Simulator deal was done back in 2019
We expected them to be permanent until Alan Wake Remastered showed up in the Nvidia leak for Steam.I'm more worried about them publishing, TBH. Those games will likely be EGS forever, right?
not if they want to recoup the investment...I'm more worried about them publishing, TBH. Those games will likely be EGS forever, right?

I didn't and I said so back then. I'll say it again, it makes no sense for a developer to not release on Steam since they start making money only once the development budget has been recouped. Good luck doing that on EGS.We expected them to be permanent until Alan Wake Remastered showed up in the Nvidia leak for Steam.
We just need to give people ability to add award emotes on their own reviewsI guess I'm in the minority here but I actually like the emoticon-tag thingy. It has a shit implementation, it's epic after all, but conceptually it's pretty neat.
I agree with store exclusivity agreements. Very few will be stupid enough to give Epic lifetime exclusivity.I didn't and I said so back then.

edit: I found the specific post
I would be very surprised if any developer signed up for permanent exclusivity.
It would be up to Epic if the publishing agreement contains that kind of clause. I have a very hard believing that developers would sign such a clause, unless they are determined to right off the PC version of their games.I agree with store exclusivity agreements.

But it’s a different matter with Epic publishing. Epic controls where the game is released in the same way EA or 2K would when they get a third party to make a game.
So for games published by Epic, it is 100% up to Epic if that game releases on Steam since they fronted the cash for its development and marketing.
It's possible that Epic's generous terms convince devs to sign such a clause anyway. Also, Remedy has been signing deals that disadvantage PC gamers for their last few games.It would be up to Epic if the publishing agreement contains that kind of clause. I have a very hard believing that developers would sign such a clause, unless they are determined to right off the PC version of their games.
I don't have a hard time believing they would sign such an agreement. Epic offers a lot of excellent terms compared to other publishers, especially if your game can sell through its development costs on console, at which point you start to get 50% of all revenue after platform fees and sales taxes.It would be up to Epic if the publishing agreement contains that kind of clause.

Just a note here (you all already know what do I think about Epic published games and their future in terms of stores hehe)It doesn't make sense for me that Epic spends a billion dollars to keep 3rd party games away from Steam, pulls Fall Guys and Rocket League from Steam, but would release their own published games on Steam anyway. Crippling Steam is more important for them than making profit I guess. Fortnite makes them billions a year anyway.
You could also argue that they're willing to sacrifice sales of their single player games to make EGS an unavoidable platform for players, while mitigating the costs of doing so by recouping their costs across all console platforms.Just a note here (you all already know what do I think about Epic published games and their future in terms of stores hehe)
There's a big difference between live service games like RL, Fall Guys which will generate tons and tons of money via microtransactions (which epic wants to perceive at 100%) and Single Player games which have a static price tag but in terms of revenue tend to go down rather quick so it is wise in the long terms to expand their audiences with those projects while pulling their live services ones from Steam as they would like to get the entirety of the MTX revenue stream.
I think this approch don't work on pc, piracy exist, and pre-steam as valuable platform for costumers there was a serius piracy problem.You could also argue that they're willing to sacrifice sales of their single player games to make EGS an unavoidable platform for players, while mitigating the costs of doing so by recouping their costs across all console platforms.
