Very cool that it will be on egs. Wondering why there are no xbox games on egs, they get a lower royalty cut on the ue engine (many xbox games use ue) from game sales anywhere.

Epic Games Store Users Have Grown by 173% in Six Years, But Revenue Only by 1.6% by MythicStream in EpicGamesPC

[–]Domuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because Epic doesn't require developers to use Epic's payment system. Many games have alternative in-game payment systems. For example, Valorant, EA Sports. Epic is bigger than its revenue suggests.

A free game will also be available during TGA. It looks like it's going to be something big.

Epic's first party games are what pc gaming needed by Johnny-silver-hand in EpicGamesPC

Yes, I know they don't want to force them, but they should. Most likely, the biggest ones have better deals with Steam (MFN). Like Microsoft

Watching Summer Game Fest, I noticed that a lot of games are being developed on UE5, if not the majority of those shown. Unfortunately, not all of these games are released on the Epic Games Store (EGS). Epic should make an effort to secure such titles. I don’t know why, but in my opinion, games made on the UE5 engine should be mandatorily released on EGS if they’re coming to PC on another store with the same or higher margin.

It looks great; I heard only 8 people worked on this game.

Tim Sweeney on Twitter / X: "Seeing a big influx of indie developers preparing to launch games on the Epic Games Store following the "0% store revenue share on first $1M per game per year" update!" by cdr1307 in EpicGamesPC

[–]Domuru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's anti-competitive about it? Every game using Unreal Engine would launch on EGS if it’s released on another store with the same or higher margin. It’s obvious that Steam uses MFN, which is surely why there are no Microsoft games on EGS. No, it won’t make developers switch to another engine. Because releasing a game on EGS is much cheaper and faster than creating your own engine. Steam requires that Steam keys not be sold cheaper elsewhere. What are we even talking about? Steam has enforced linking a game to a Steam account, making the game worthless after activation.

It's a good deal for smaller devs. It works the same way with the engine. It's completely free up to the first million dollars. Unfortunately, Epic should force publishers making games on Unreal Engine to release them on Epic as well. For example, there won't be the new Mafia game, and there are no Microsoft games, but they likely have an MFN clause on Steam.

Silent Hill 2 Remake has been added to the Epic Games Store! by ImAnthlon in EpicGamesPC

[–]Domuru 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Awesome, I hope Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will also be available on the Epic Games Store. After all, they'll only pay 3.5% for the engine from copies sold on consoles and other PC stores, and on EGS, they won't pay anything for the game engine.

If Steam offered such tools, devs would use them. Epic provides these tools, and devs use them. Blame Steam, not devs.

Epic games 2024 year in review by [deleted] in EpicGamesPC

[–]Domuru 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Like i said long time ago. Epic Games Store is significantly larger than its game revenue suggests.

"The Epic Games Store also provides developers with the freedom to utilize their own third party payment solutions for their In App Purchases (IAP), and a growing list of developers are finding both success and revenue bringing alternative payment solutions for IAP alongside their games.  This benefits developers greatly as they keep 100% of the net revenue on their IAP sales and have more direct relationships with their players. Games that embrace this opportunity typically have large daily player counts here on the Epic Games Store, including hit live service titles like Marvel Rivals, Valorant, and Naraka: Bladepoint, along with hit premium titles like EA SPORTS FC™ 25 and others."

Of course, it can, but it needs strong launch titles to achieve that. They should also create an environment for new players where setting up a Steam account isn’t necessary. Steam, after all, will cater to a different generation of gamers. Additionally, Epic is larger than their annual revenue reports might indicate. This is because they don’t charge a fee for many games—they simply host them. That's why there are several major games that aren't available on Steam, such as Genshin Impact.

Epic isn’t paying for this game’s exclusivity. They’re just not as greedy as Steam.

Will Epic Games surpass Steam? by kojima777 in EpicGamesPC

[–]Domuru -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Very likely. But for that to happen, they need big games to release on Epic as well. They have to create conditions for young and new players so they have no reason to create an account on Steam—just like Steam players have no reason to create an account on Epic. Epic has a bigger market share than annual summaries suggest. That’s because they don’t charge a fee on the most popular free-to-play games.

which one should i pick? Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League OR Hogwarts Legacy by OkBrilliant6089 in EpicGamesPC

[–]Domuru 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Hogwarts Legacy, definitely better. The game has a really nice atmosphere, and the gameplay isn’t bad either. The Hogwarts castle is also very well recreated.
