I don't even have an account there Laughing

Plus I don't really see the reason to install it. I haven't played Fortnite and I'm not interested in it. Most of the games that they're giving away I already own or I have no interest in. Whistle me elmo

I'm quite happy to wait a year for the exclusives. The vast majority are buggy as fuck at release anyway. Better to have a year of patches.

Just use https://github.com/derrod/legendary

The only disadvantage of it (for normies) - it is CLI. Other than that it is perfecto.

Numbers from 2020

700m spent on fortnite skins and a whopping 265m on actual games?

That's what, 5 to 10 million units, maybe?

Also remember that that's just money spent. Epic takes a 12% cut, so their profit for the whole year (from the store) is like 110 million overall.

In 2020, Epic gave away 103 games, totalling $2,407 in value, and they were claimed over 749 million times. In 2019, 73 free games were offered ($1,455 total value), and were claimed over 200 million times.


I wonder, how much money did they lose? Even if they only paid 1$/game, they would have lost 749m$, lol. And I don't think EA has that small a margin (Battlefront 2 was claimed like 18m times).

Epic probably made a loss even.

Dunno why everyone complains about Epic, works just fine for me using it for Unreal Engine and getting free games Cool Face

Tho the client really needs to be remade from the ground, I think they said they'll have it ready for 2023?

some ex-Bungie devs will announce a new game there

About the exclusivity strategy by the man himself:
Quote:
We don’t have any plans to change our general approach while the state of stores in the industry remains as it is, but more of our exclusive funding is typically aimed at games earlier in the development cycle nowadays.

Great!

I've been waiting so many years for Kingdom Hearts to hit PC and now it's an Epic exclusive, fuckin' terrific.

https://kotaku.com/kingdom-hearts-series-coming-to-pc-on-march-30-exclusi-1846251386

Quote:
A handful of Kingdom Hearts games are coming to PC on March 30, and will be exclusive to the Epic Games Store.

During today’s spring showcase, Epic Games announced that Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX, Kingdom Hearts HD II.8 Final Chapter Prologue, Kingdom Hearts III, and Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory will be joining the service next month.


Hopefully it's only for a year, no information yet.

I'll wait, it's no issue.

I just haven't seen a confirmation anywhere that this is exclusive for a year.

Also the price for the whole package on the EGS is hysterical.

Also at this point with Square selling out, you gotta wonder if the PC release of Final Fantasy VII Remake will be an Epic exclusive as well...

That pricing is hilarious. Laughing


The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.
