Control?? That one hurts. :(

Not enough to make me use EGS tho. And thanks for getting console exclusives to PC, but I'll get them on Steam down the road. :p

I knew Control was gonna go to EGS. It sorta hit all the points for the kind of game Epic aims for.

I guess this includes Steam presales too, because it doesn't say it doesn't.

That doesn't say much, any chance for actual figures? Like did it sell 250,000 copies on EGS (assuming Metro LL sold 100,000 on launch)?
Also what if this takes into account the retail versions? What would the split be between digital and retail?

Welp, they're not going to be wrong.

Still not the same as being able to buy a key from amazon, or GMG, or cdkeys, or humble, or gog, or direct and choosing drm and steam launcher... Oh welp.

Waiting for Humble to sell Epic keys without their usual 10% discount for monthly subscribers like they did with Nintendo games.

They didn't say anything, it's launch sales only maybe. May or may not include steam sales too. So it says anything really.

At least, we will get Humble Epic bundles!

Maybe even Epic keys in the Humble Monthly bundles!
I ain't redeeming them :V I'll prob. even go so far as to ask Humble to revoke my Epic key via Support :V

There was also Slime Rancher at 4.5M. If you think that's good for a free game, i'm down era.
That doesn't really say much. Recall that the EGS has 85 million users (according to them), that's around 5% of users.
Mind you this is a free game, how many of those 4.5 million would be interested in buying games on EGS?

feels like we are entering a new shitty era for PC gaming, tbh. This shit is just getting worse and unless fortnite dies it's not gonna end

I'm saying the same thing, probably its poorly worded. I don't think that 4.5M of download are a good measure for something that's...free.
