Is 5 million sales on the PC in the first year really possible though? I would think the bulk of its sales will be on consoles.
Wait, how do you guys know so much about a private company's finances? Have they disclosed this information somewhere, or is this armchair theorizing?

I'd imagine it'd be something like not having to pay royalties for Unreal usage that year or something (Literally no clue what i'm talking about)
Maybe no license fees for console sales?UE games don't pay engine royalty fees for EGS sales, so that's in there by default.
On one hand, Epic should waste their money buying up garbage like Borderlands 3.
On the other hand, Gearbox getting any money is bad.

Valve has stated at GDC that almost 90% of the sales in Asia are through payments method that cost more than the defualt 5% (10%+ in general).

It seems like it will be EGS exclusive. And, reading between the lines, for a period of 6 months. Real curious as to what "advantages" there will be to this though.

Honestly? I respect that decision. Getting crossplay on Sony seems only reserved for the big dogs so I'll easily support this decision.
yea that will be dope.
Now, RDR2 releasing on EGS and Rockstar launcher only will be something else.
Wasn't this completely expected? Got to say Outer Worlds EGS situation was a lot more annoying. Meh.

If going EGS is the only way to get the game to be crossplay between all platforms (including PS4) and pc....
....then sorry steam. I wish i could cry for you but i'm not really concerned.
What. There are numerous games on Steam that are crossplay with PS4.
Not when it's about 3 way cross play that includes crossplay between Xbox and PS4 both. That is something that's only been done by Epic so far via their platform.What. There are numerous games on Steam that are crossplay with PS4.

To be fair, there are several that are Steam /PS4 and Steam/XB1 at the same time. It is just Sony being assholes with crossplay.And like 1 that is steam/PS4/XB1, which is clearly what they are going for.

Valve's cut is as low as 0% on the keys that devs create and sell outside of Steam.
Epic Store has nothing to do with Sony not allowing cross-platform play with Xbox or Switch. Epic Store is on none of these platforms.Not when it's about 3 way cross play that includes crossplay between Xbox and PS4 both. That is something that's only been done by Epic so far via their platform.
Will not buy it, but at least it's one of the better PR responses... thuogh bar wasn't truly that high.

I honestly believe Randy is talking about crossplay between Steam and EGS. As I said, lower your expectations.
