Both a risk and an insurance if (of course) they have been paid for it.
I mean sure but honestly it pray this was just funding for another game because this isn't gonna do well.
Theyd be right idiots of they didnt get paod for exclusivity. Im sure they did.
Bad move cosidering mordhau.
Well it's a MP focused game and if everyone is on Steam playing Mordhau, then what?

They might be cutting their losses if they've assumed they've already lost their market.
As much as we hate it, Epic can statistically prove that devs will make money. Success is not their worry, its the break-even analysis. Epic has shown that majority will break even.
their last game was so bad at garnering a playerbase they straight up gave up on it and delisted it. interesting move to follow that up with an EGS exclusive in the midst of a replacement for their IP blowing up bigger on Steam than their original game ever did.
I'm not sure launching a multiplayer title like this on EGS is a great idea.
I'm sure early 2020 Mordhau is less popular. Maybe people will be thirsty for a second Chivalry by then. I enjoyed the first one for a couple of hours.

I don't understand what you're saying. If Epic pays out a money hat, that should cover development costs by itself (if the devs or publishers had any wit, at least). If the game bombs, that's then Epic's problem (and, in this case, the problem of anyone who bought the game, given that it's probably multiplayer only).
It might also be the publisher's problem in the long term.
Maybe they covered the costs of the existing game, but if the fanbase is lost, who'll buy the next game? I doubt Epic will.
I'm sure there are more than one of those but yeah, a very purple game with a vaguely 1001 Nights look, that tried to mash up Chivalry and Overwatch. Genuinely not a very good game, and very disappointing as a sequel to Chivalry. They literally gave it away for free after a while and still couldn't get people to play it.

Yeah, probably. I just don't know what they're going to do from here.
I had to see if this thread was made, but I literally laughed when one of my friends showed me this was announced earlier today and I honestly thought it was faked. No one can even muster up the willpower to be angry over this exclusivity since Mordhau has stolen all the oxygen out of the room for this type of experience. I honestly feel a little bad for Torn Banner.
Great deal Tim!
Great deal Tim!
When put like that is really makes you wonder what they were thinking. Still, feel kinda sorry for them after the whole Mirage affair.
This is like 4 years too late. Loved the original chivalry but yeah mordhau has swept in and taken that niche spaace. Hopefully they've made some big improvements.
