I don't understand why Lanning and Co keep getting shots at this. Did the original games and Munch's Odyssey build ups so much good-will (and cash) that they can basically lean into wasting it for 20 years and come out unscathed each time?
There are now 3 reviews a day and a half after the release.

It could be on the next big mega sale, or it be never. I don't think there was a coupon in the winter sale
Noone knows. They had coupons more frequently before. Been awhile since last time.
I will say one good thing about EGS: their support of Geforce Now (GFN) is much better than Steam's.
For instance, Control (EGS) is supposed to start instantly on GFN, while the Steam version is extremely long to start (when it does).
Similarly, Shenmue III (EGS) starts instantly. Meanwhile, the Steam version is not listed on GFN.
There are plenty of other instances. Typically, weekly free games appear quite fast on GFN, e.g. after a day or two maximum.
It is pretty obvious that someone at Epic ensures good relations with Nvidia, and good support of EGS games, while there might be nobody at Valve appointed to inspect and ensure good quality of Steam-based games on GFN. It is a big deal to me: I would have had a better experience with Control EGS when I had the opportunity in Humble Choice.

Isn't it the publishers that have to give the green light for GFN support rather than the storefronts? At least as far as I can tell if they hadn't blocked NVIDIA we'd have probably been playing our full Steam catalogue on GFN just as it happens on say, Shadow or whatever, but pubs got pissy and wanted extra dough even though we've already bought the game we want to play on that service. Nvidia could have probably fought them and argued it's not really a streaming service like Stadia but just renting out hardware that instead of coming to our home is remote but wants good relations for GPU support and crippled GFN over it. And it's probably more on Nvidia's part to ensure games work just as well on the service as they do when you launch them locally and support all versions well too. What about quantity of games overall, how many on Steam are playable on GFN and how many on EGS? Totals, not %. Sucks if pubs have blocked most.

Hitman 3 sold 300% better than Hitman 2
IO claims this year's entry is the commercial and critical highlight of the trilogy.

Epic's free MetaHuman Creator software is pretty amazing
It's like a character creator for an RPG that never starts (which means it can never disappoint you).

Good Idea: show that you now have a really big number of regional currencies to help consumers
Bad idea:: making the show a pissing contest with a competitor that can easily outclass you in every other way
I'm just going off this tweet but is there a reason why Steam isn't supporting more currencies than Epic?
From what I read, Steam is going to support more currencies soon. So the timing for the tweet was really good: it is the only time window during which their statement is true. Caveat: I have not checked the sources.
As I understand it, Steam prefers an all or nothing approach to support currencies which includes supporting local payment methods. This approach means there is a long on boarding process to bringing a regional pricing support online.
Personally, I feel this made more sense some time ago, but anymore they should just offer a base regional pricing option to convert local currency into USD. Plus, once they do add a currency and regional support, they could default to the base price if the price has not been updated by the publisher or developer. Now, it jut becomes unable to be purchased until someone updates to the regional value which is an awful solution.

Thanks, so that's how it works. More regional pricing/currency options could be great for publishers who actually care about regional pricing for customers.
Correct. References to new supported currencies were found in Steam, but there is no time frame as to when they will be officially implemented (or if they ever wll).

Overlay is better than Steam's though, which is interesting. I did not expect that. Shift+F3 and you get direct access to cheevos.
well the only usecases i have for overlays is stuff epic doesnt have 
... so for me its a win by default , never was cared about cheevos
Its fascinating ... as usual with egs and its features its one or two great ideas/implementation hidden inside superhalfassed implementation (aka here the cheevos being only visible in overlay)

My use-case of the Steam overlay mostly consists of checking recent achievements, which is tiresome as you have to open the page of achievements if you want to check more than the most recent unlocked one. So Epic's take should be pretty useful to this regard.
Other than that, checking Steam guides in the overlay is great. And Epic should never have that.

Matching Epic, Microsoft is slashing what it takes from developers to 12%
The reduction will match Epic's current revenue split.

Interesting stats.
53% of the freeloaders are lapsed Fortnite players, with the highest conversion rate (8.23%) to payers.
17% are active FN players or already using the EGS.
30% are new to Epic, with ~5% conversion rate to payers.

That sounds low, but it's also completely in a vacuum because we don't know what any storefront has in terms of 'free games redeemed ->paying customers' as far as I know.Interesting stats.

Not a good sign though truth be told.
I wonder if the UT3 thing was scrapped. When looking at some other slides, it appears that report was drafted in March 2020. The dates jump around and start out in September 2020, then jump back to March 2020 and I think September 2019.
Edit: I also wonder if Conan Exiles on EGS was scrapped. I know that game was slated to be a free giveaway in 2020, but Epic announced that it was being delayed. Also Funcom announced it was coming to Game Pass (console and PC) a few days ago.

In case this is helpful for someone else:
There is an option to install Epic Online Services in the settings of the EGS client.
