I genuinely wanna see how much these 1 year agreements do for sales. I havent seen any numbers yet for the ones already out.
Outer Worlds especially youd think Obsidian would value the sales theyd get from multiple services but i guess the fat paycheck was too hard to resist.

Nah, I'm good. I'm fine without game that requires using launcher that datamines my data without my consent because "just in case".
Because, if other games are to be taken as an example, Epic are both giving the better cut AND paying them to be a year exclusive.
I was all in on Control, but I guess now it can wait. God damn it Remedy. Read the room!
This has nothing to do with Obsidian. The Private Division is publishing the game.
They are, which is why they took the money lol one of the most popular games in the world runs exclusively through the Epic Games Store. Getting front and center placement at launch because now that deal as well as a fat sack of cash doesn't sound bad to me.
That doesn't make as much sense as you might think, given Ori and Halo on Steam, and now Cuphead on switch.
Has more to do with The Outer Worlds publisher, which isn't Microsoft. They own the IP and will publish any sequel, but The Outer Worlds deal is still under the same publisher it was before the acquisition.

Developers who deliberately mischaracterize some of their consumers to defend Epic
I feel for you
That's the rub. Era is super not indicative of the room. There's no real evidence to show that PC players at large care either way
This has nothing to do with the cut. Epic is offering these publishers a lot of money to stay off Steam for a year.
Lol, If it was being published by MS it would probably be coming to Steam.
In the presentation, speaker noted Metro Exodus sold 2.5x the copies when compared to Last Light. Worthy mention. Don't know if they mean lifetime to date or what.
The fact that Metro Exodus sold 2.5 times better than Metro Last Light on Steam shows they don't.
Here a Linux user who couldn't get more excited after Steam Proton announcement.
Until this happened... Fuck. For once I though Linux would have a change between PC Gamers.
How does that stop companies from getting paid to go away form Steam?
And why doesn't Ubisoft care about the EGS when they can take 100% form their own store?
Hint:it has nothing to do with the revenue cut and everything to do with upfront money.
Nice to see a developer not caring at all about what consumers want lol.
Developers that don't understand why we're having a problem with this
I feel for you
I'm just hoping enough people buy it, so I can expect a nice selection of mods a year from release.
I'm not installing (another) obtrusive online store front. 2020 is indeed looking like a good year.
Oh fuck! They got Control!!! Damn, you hit me good Epic lmao. Idk how the Epic Store will play out feature-wise so I'm a little hesitant to get it there rather than Steam. Plus my library is Steam.
GG Epic.
Question, yall think when Epic pays these exclusivity contracts upfront, do the devs still get their individual splits per sale? Or since Epic prob cuts a fat check, they take the whole sale until an agreed date?
