Assuming that's exactly as epic shows, for once can side with epic 10000%.
And Apple's in probably for some DMA fines...

- Start date
Apple backed off. EGS mobile will launch soon. I'm not expecting much as Fortnite on mobile was never a huge deal and the only way I can see it being a game changer is if they convince someone like Mihoyo to pull their games from the App Store which is extremely unlikely.
I know they have a mobile version of Fall Guys planned, but Stumble Guys already ate FG's lunch (kind of like how Fortnite ate PUBG's lunch).

Another Epic published game coming to Steam (the first being RAILGRADE). Looks like it released on EGS last March:

Yes, in both cases they released on Steam as self-published titles. You can bet if AW makes it to Steam, it will likely end up in a similar way.
Yeah hopefully Remedy got the same deal where they can eventually self publish Alan Wake 2 on other PC storefronts if they want to. Given Alan Wake 2 is much higher profile than Touch Type Tale or RAILGRADE it doesn't seem impossible to me they have a different contract with Epic but who knows.
For what it worth, neither Remedy nor Epic could confirm a full exclusive based on different interviews.
Feels like EGS is very much dead nowadays in terms on "word of mouth" and popular game releases. A game could be popping off in popularity on Steam and people won't know it is also on EGS.

Seems like epic games have started their summer sale and they dont have coupons or rewards this time.
Epic only ever did coupons for the Mega sale and holiday sale, but last year's summer sale did have boosted rewards. They're shying away from burning money on promotions.
From the outside, it seems like the PC store has taken a backseat to the mobile store.

I imagine it’s not a very epic sale.
Yeah I imagine Tim is way more interested in his shiny new toy than his old toy no one wanted to play with.

I can't wait for some of my mobile apps being pulled out of the Play Store because Epic paid the devs to do so.
I think this is more evidence that EGS is in its winding down phase investment wise, as described in court documents.
The "most played" list on EGS is something else. Almost every game is free or has been part of a giveaway. I'm looking forward to the Year in Review. 
Damn, the summer sale made a big splash, everyone is talking about it everywhere.
Epic doesn't have that kind of money. Mobile dwarfs PC (and console) and no big players are leaving Google Play and the App Store for a tiny startup (that is only available in one region for iOS). At best they will be able to convince the big players to put their game on EGS mobile in addition to the main app stores.
Maybe they should have made an anime girl mascot instead of "graphic design is my passion".
The Cybertruck skin is being given away for free if you do some quests. I guess Epic realized not that many people want to support a right wing crackpot drug addict. I've also seen some Epic employees on Twitter crap on it.
Betting a dollar Tim wrote that blog post, especially with buzzwords like "quantum leap" and "rent collectors".
Tim Sweeney with egg on his face? That's a first.
Konami must have had zero confidence in Cygni. Just on Steam it's currently ranked #1988 in preorders.
Seems like Apex Legends on EGS required the EA App. On Steam, it doesn't.
Epic is having another big sale. Their summer sale ended uhh....less than a week ago.
I think every EA game on EGS uses EA App. There are only a handful of EA games on Steam that are app free (Apex, It Takes Two, Dead Space Remake and the new Dragon Age off the top of my head).
Who knew locking characters like Spider-Man and Darth Vader behind battle passes that can never be got again was bad business long term? I know the blog post only says for future battle passes, but they'll figure out away to sell those characters again.
I love how this thread has changed from frustration to pure comedy.

It may hit profitability when the next DLC and the physical version comes out, but having the flagship game of your publishing arm take nearly a year to turn a profit is not very good.
Also, two weeks later, Earth Defense Force 6 is available to purchase in the good ol' USA.

I've completely lost track of the Apple/Epic drama but I saw a rumor that Epic wants to launch EGS mobile on the 16th to coincide with the new Fortnite season and Fall Guys/Rocket League Sideswipe updates.
Atomic Fabrik games nuked from Steam and now exclusively on Epic Games Store
And nothing of value was lost.
Only the best games on Epic.
IGN article went up early (and was pulled), but EGS mobile launches today. Fall Guys mobile is also launching.

Hasn't stumble guys eaten it's launch ?
He's probably not wrong, they were paying peanuts for most free games and that let to user creation, the question is always the same: how many games did those people buy after that?
That's the answer you don't say loud
Fortnite is back on the iPhone — with a whole app store in tow
The store is also home to mobile Fall Guys.
Few key points
-Aiming for 100 million downloads by the end of the year
-In discussions with nearly every top 250 mobile dev. They like the Android store but aren't fans of the iOS version
-Spent hundreds of millions on lawsuits I bet those 830 people you canned are happy about that

Yeah. Stumble Guys was the Fortnite to Fall Guys' PUBG because they pushed out a mobile version while the fad was still hot.
Epic said they had a 30% conversion rate for free user -> paid user

It is hard to call doubt on this, but I really wonder given how flat their third party spend has been.
I suppose those users could have purchased something in Fortnite or another Epic game or they purchased some extremely cheap game. Which also makes me wonder how many only bought during a coupon sale. If you convert 30% but a majority of that 30% only purchased when you lost money during a transaction and come to expect that for all of their purchases in order to continue purchasing, well then...good I guess?

100M in downloads is a tall order though I suppose its possible, though likely going to need those third party games sooner rather than later to actually reach that. Going to be curious if they try to completely poach titles off of iOS and Android stores, or only get those titles added to EGS in addition to those other stores, which I feel wouldn't go the way Epic wants... I think mobile is going to be a tougher nut to crack than PC.
Down from 17.7 million in February and up (slightly) from 14.7 million a year ago.
Steam's EU MAU will get posted eventually. Valve was pretty late last time and I don't want to hop on a VPN to check their legal page right now.
I'd guess it's Fortnite/Fall Guys/Rocket League MTX because it sure isn't third party games.
Down from 22.6 million in February.
Fall Guys EU MAU is 2.2 million which is down from 2.9 million in February.
I should also mention the numbers will get a nice boost thanks to the mobile store launch, Fortnite OG chapter 2 and chapter 6 in the winter. No idea what to expect though so feel free to make random guesses.
