'Metro: Exodus' Sells Huge On The Epic Store

>If ever you needed more proof that loud promises of internet boycotts doesn't always, or ever, translate into actual problems for actual companies, here we go. Metro: Exodus managed to put up some impressive sales numbers despite the widespread backlash against Deep Silver's decision to move Metro: Exodus from Steam to the Epic Games Store and cries of "no steam, no sale". The game sold 2.5 times as much as its predecessor, Metro: Last Light did on Steam. As a test case it's good news for Epic and the developers itching to move off of Steam.

>So not only did Metro: Exodus make more money selling on Epic, Deep Silver got to keep a significantly larger chunk of that money. Valve takes a baseline 30% cut of all Steam sales, with that number dropping as low as 20% for top earners. Epic, on the other hand, takes only 12%, and also throws in the Unreal Engine license for free if a developer chooses to use it. If you want to know why developers are interested in the Epic Games Store, that's why.

Are you a bot spamming threads, the article writer, or a troll just looking to spam threads?

Last Light 2013 sold 150k on steam. So they sold less than a million, bravo

Jesus, stop with these threads. We get it, game journos take pork buns in lieu of money these days.

>things that didn't happen
Based

>Sells Huge
>can only buy the game digitally in 1 place
ok chink

I would like actual numbers please.
Are they including physical sales?

>modern game with actual marketing sold THIS much better than older game with little marketing
No shit.

Also, still no actual fucking numbers.

Don't bother responding to three threads. Nigh every epic thread is being started by bots.

>Exodus sold 2.5x Last Light
>2.5 x 150k = 300k
So you're saying it was a commercial failure?

Reminder that Forbes and PC Gamer were bribed to say 2.5 total instead of 2.5 launch numbers.

can you see player numbers on chink launcher? if not then it's just a bugman's word

And I pirated it, too!

>that math
are you retarded

>burger education

I may be a brainlet but at least I'm not Chinese
That's still sub 500k copies

Where are people getting 150K from? Steamspy says Last Light sold 20K

>They sold 50k copies on epic
Big fuckin oof

I take another click forward and here you are again, like your own shitposts in a hall of threads.

literally made up, the only leaked sales data before Valve blocked it was Redux.

Also last light was removed from steam pretty early and replaced with redux, so around 20K might actually be factual

It sold because of the controversy, the other metro games sold like shit

>heavily advertised
>2.5x more than last light
sub 500k sales(to be generous)
fuckin idiots

Getting (you)s is the only thing some "people" have to live for.

Reminder to report and sage all shill threads

Why are redditors both here and on reddit so fucking brand loyal to a fucking games store? Valve was being a greedy money grabbing hog for far too long and now they're getting punched in the face. Truth is that 90% of modern Indie devs make their games in Unreal or Unity on which Epic offers way better deals than Valve.

>MOOM I POSTED IT AGAIN
Fuck you

>game advertised on E3 conference highlights and everywhere
>sold more than unsuccesful Last Light
>still don't show the actual math or even an explicit confirmation that they are in fact strictly comparing Epic Store vs Steam Store sales instead of globas sales or whatever
