Metro Exodus flopped on PC

That's true. But with the silence behind sales figures and Epic handing out misleading numbers (Exodus selling 2.5x as much as the original Last Light, a game that flopped), it's going to take a while for each publisher to catch on.

But Near Tomato isn't even a PC issue, it runs fucking terribly on everything. it has absolute garbage optimization. And Rage 2 is the sequel no one asked for to the game no one cared about, on top of looking like garbage. I want to try Rage 1 now but 2 is aesthetically ugly.

>concurrent players vs total sales
Sekiro did 2 million in a week and still selling.

Even if they do keep it up for beyond the next two years they probably won't offer the same deal to a dev twice. Why would they? Metro already drew all the people to the Epic Games store is was going to draw.

Well, Tim did just kick several publishers in the dick with that sale, that may speed things along a bit.

Stronger than it's ever been, actually. Just like gaming as a whole. If Xbox didn't shit the bed it'd be even better with their new "we don't want to cannibalize sales" policy. It's also still the actual enthusiast option, and it will never be displaced as such.

Ate you fucking retarded?

Total War 3K which was released earlier today and Football Manager 2019 a while ago
both are the most pre-ordered, fastest selling with the highest player count in their respective franchises

Nier Automata actually sold almost 1.2 million units on PC as of mid-2018.
To put that into perspective, as of this year the game has sold 4 million units on PC, XB1, and PS4 combined, and PC sales have easily crossed the 1.5 million mark by now, so it's extremely likely that PC made up over 35% of all sales for the game.

The best part is that they only got those games because QD was bought out by a Chinese company that was bringing those games to PC anyways.

108K concurrent players is equivalent to 1M sale, dumb Sony faggot.

He's just going to pay them even more money for the deal, it's literally not a problem.
As long as his shareholders keep letting him piss away money he can just compensate.

Epic isn't even the reason as to why Quantic Dream games are coming to PC
its just a shill tactic people use "oh look what Epic is doing to us PC players, they're bringing some Sony exclusives while Valve is busy with VR gimmicks"
something like that to elevate Epic and shit on Steam

Notice how they don't tell you any numbers.
PC being "second largest platform" only means it's doing slightly better than Xbox. Since PS4 has twice the installed base of Xbone that probably means 50% of sales are PS4, 26% are PC, 24% are Xbone.

Satisfactory is an autism engineering game, a first-person Factorio. Those kinds of games are fun as hell, but it's a niche genre. What exactly were they expecting?

It didn't help that (at least in the beta) Satisfactory didn't feel like it really incentivized automation beyond raw material processing.

Free Radical Design continues to pwn the industry from beyond the grave.

Nah, PC has been doing consistently better than Xbone for quite awhile.
Since MHW sold ~5-6 million on PC, chances are the actual sales breakdown is closer to 35% PC, 18% Xbone, and 47% PS4, much like with many Jap games.

I swear to god, if this ever happens I'm going to laugh till I shit myself

No, PC players in general tend to be more enfranchised, while consoles are dominated by the "buys 1-3 big AAA games per year" type of consumers. The latter is completely unaware of the industry trends, they don't vote with their wallets, they're your equivalent of a person that only watches superhero movies and nothing else.

Dude, Factorio sold over 1.7 million units as of July of 2018.
It's probably over 2 million at this point.

Sheesh, guess it's more popular of a genre than I gave it credit.

I still say that what I saw in the demo/beta of Satisfactory showed that they didn't have the same grasp that the devs of Factorio have in making a really good factory game.

Good point, it's probably more like 10-12% Xbone.
People horribly underestimate just how dead the Xbone is outside of your western AAA games and CoD/BF/Fortnte.

And they were right.
All the PC franchises of the 90s and early 2000s now are console focused with 70-80% of their sales on consoles.
PC is an afterthought to publishers.

>anime game
no thanks

Not really.
Total War just had a new game come out (PC exclusive of course) that's already one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) in the franchise.
The only PC franchises of the 90s and early 2000s that are still even relevant even on consoles are Battlefield and CoD, and they're both shells of their former selves.
Consoles are where games go to die.

>People horribly underestimate just how dead the Xbone is outside of your western AAA games and CoD/BF/Fortnte.

Plus the platform is completely irrelevant outside of the US and Mexico. And even in those it still gets outsold comfortably by the PS4.

Devs don't care because epic pays them the difference.

The real question is when is epic going to run out of money?
The answer is never because of the zoomer plague and how fortnite prints money faster than an actual mint.

The devs are fine as long as Epic is willing to throw money at trying to take over PC gaming, but if they stop, said devs won't get any more free money, which means either sell their shit to no one on the Epic store, or slunk back to Steam.

Deus Ex, Thief, Battlefield, CoD, Crysis, Far Cry, DOOM.
Fucking GTA used to be released on PC before consoles and have special features on PC.

I don't even give a shit about the 'le so epic randumb steam vs epic rivalry' or the 'muh 30% cut'. What I care about is that epic, just like origin before it, actively spies on you so it can sell your information. Except it's even worse this time because its the chinese doing it because Sweeney is a Tencent puppet now.

You don't take the exclusivity deal from Epic because you want the higher cut per sale or event want it to sell well. You take the deal for a big lump sum of money to help cover the costs for a game you know won't sell particularly well.

>Halo Killer
Wait, I thought Halo was coming to Steam, not Epic?

Notice how all of those are dead aside from Far Cry and Doom.
And Far Cry isn't even owned by the original creators anymore, hence why it's now a consoleshitter series.

they wont pay them for the next game, at least not nearly as much

for a small dev going to the epic store is good because it's guaranteed money and they dont need to make another successful game
for a big company they need to keep making successful games, but going to the epic store kills their future chances of success

They burned the PC community...

What else is there to say.

Question is if they made more money upfront with Epic than with better sales on Steam.

Unless Epic offered them upwards of $50 million, they probably would have made more money on Steam.

>Game sold a lot more than any of the predecessors on the PC
Nigger Last Light Redux did 1.5 million. Exodus did so low they refuse to tell us what it sold.

Yes. Steam gets Halo, but Epic gets the fucking HAZE. We'll see who's laughing in the end!

>t. actuall paid EFG store shill
>well funded well advertised sequel to a game with established fanbase sales barely better than new release by unknown studio with close to zero marketiong

The joke was that Halo killed itself.

Metros never sold well, this is first actual hit in the series - on consoles.

You're a moron thinking Haze is going to kill steam. It's going to be GoG getting Breed.

In their initial report they said that it sold 2.5 times as much as Last Light did in launch window. This is the base game, not the Redux which sold signifigantly more.
Also you gotta understand that Exodus had signifigantly more hype around it, huge E3 presence, and lots of money used for advertising. It's basically Witcher 1 to Witcher 3 situation. By all means, it should be selling way more than any other game in series did, and on platforms other than PC that did happen.

As if. Haze has music by motherfucking KoRn, what does Halo have? They couldn't even get Limp Bizkit to do a track for them!

The game didn't flop in general, but only on PC
notice how the guy from THQ in last night stream said that the majority of sales are on consoles, then emphasized the "absolute" majority of sales are on consoles
basically, it sold awfully on pc, where the previous games sold better on pc

I'll give her the dick

I guess all those retards saying "i-it doesn't matter where it's being sold, p-people care about the game, not the p-platform, you guys are just a minority of autists!" were wrong.
Not that anyone who actually plays on PC is surprised, it was always painfully obvious that they were console converts trying to bring their retarded consolefag way of thinking to PC.
I hope that report about 20 million people fucking off back to consoles from PC is legit, it'd be a fucking godsend.

That's what happens when you put it on a platform that has an inflated userbase because of Fortnite, with less than 3% of the players being paying customers. The publisher knew what they were getting into and were probably paid a lot of money by Epic.

Not worth the long term damage to your brand

who cares if the games flop, they allready got their paycheck by epic.

The stupidest thing about this is that THIS ALREADY HAPPENED TO STEAM when they tried to appeal to the DOTA 2/ CSGO fags but realized they are only there for the free shit. Epic is literally making the same mistakes Steam made years ago.

Not really. Less players on PC = less sales on pc, which are already much lower than console sales generally = less focus on PC.

That was a marketing joke by the devs which kind of backfired since now everyone thinks that was actually the case.

Nobody is retarded enough to think it only sold 9 copies, but as the image in the OP shows, it clearly sold like shit.

you guys misunderstand why devs are such enthusiastic supporters of the EGS. The tencent sugar daddy money is great and all, but what's really attracting them to the platform is the promise of the future of a more walled garden where they have total control over what input and feedback consumers are allowed to give (as well as what devs are allowed inside he circlejerk). Bad reviews make these scum absolutely seethe and while the bigger devs are smart enough to hide it at the company level, individual devs and smaller indie outfits have made this abundantly clear. This is why they continue to stick with the EGS despite the obvious deficiencies and loss of sales. They want steam to die because it's too open, EGS shill devs must not just be boycotted, they must be actively punished and bankrupted.

It wasn't marketing, it was just a samefag smelling his own fats.

If devs really think that they are pretty retarded because it's only a matter of time until EGS is saturated as well.
The new platform honeymoon phase never lasts.

Also
>implying there isn't already garbage games on EGS
Nice walled garden, lmao.

Curation and "muh shovelware" is a lie. The walled garden is about control over users and gatekeeping problematic devs like the Kingdom Come guys.

also because steam is simply fucking dogshit in its current state.
i allready search the games i want to buy on piratewebsites because its just a pain to browse games on steam.
the filters are so fucking dogshit that searching for a game requires you to skip 8 sites of shovelware, 3 sites waifushitbait and 5 sites dlc before you can even hope to find a game. and even if you find a game you might overlook its because its hard to see the difference between fucking TRASH and an actual game.

are you 80 years old?

Not really, all it means is less dumbfuck consoleniggers shitting up my games.
I don't give a fuck about tons of faggots playing on PC, if I cared about that I'd do all my gaming on my phone.

I did it the first 3 or 4 times but now I don't even care.
Why bother when they're all just games I could be pirating?

Are they going to pay for the next game too?
Are they also going to pay for the potentially lost increased consumer base it might have had if it wasn't on a dead platform?
Are they going to pay for the damaged rep for putting it on the EGS too?

There's more to game sales than the straight up sales numbers.

>devs are enthusiastic
Not really, it seems that only a handful of devs actually support doing EGS exclusivity. It really comes down to the publishers. Even Randy Pitchford, for as much as a slimey cuck as he is, isn't a fan of EGS exclusivity but it was up to Take Two Interactive.

>hyperbole
Have you tried just using the search function and typing out the name of the game you're looking for?

fuck off steamfanboy, how can you literally be retarded enough to defend steam in tis current state.
do yourself a favour:
go to steam and search for "rpgs"
and after you go to GOG and search for "rpgs"
steam feels like some a gatherplace for old sack of shits that want to take a dumb into your mouth. 80% of the people selling their games on steam doesnt even care about videogames. they dont want to create a game, they dont care about making a good game, they only care about shitting into your mouth. and you eat the shit just because the pile of dogshit had steam written on it.

>Even Randy Pitchford, for as much as a slimey cuck as he is, isn't a fan of EGS exclusivity but it was up to Take Two Interactive.
Randy loves EGS and was praising it long before his game was even announced.

how do i know the games name if i search for new games?
when i browse for new games i usually dont know their names untill i find them

why the fuck would you even search using such a broad term like RPG?
why dont you type out the game's name?

if you search for new games you usually dont know the games name before you find it.

yeah they bragged about getting 3 million downloads but that's actually pathetic considering how many of these 3 million would actually buy anything

Nigger, did you not see him write a novella on Twitter about how Steam is dying and Epic is The Future of PC Gaming?

>Randy loves EGS
True, but I was referring to the exclusivity deal which he repeatedly states was not his doing and he isn't a fan of since it's not like EGS and Steam are 1:1 in terms of quality so there's a lot of potential customers who will just simply not buy it because they will never migrate, as as EGS being a majority Fortnite launcher. Granted it's Randy and he could just be doing his typical deflection bullshit, but that's the public statement he made so that's what we gotta go with.

It can always get worse.

Will Epic collapse quickly enough for Take-Two to take BL3 off the store? I'd prefer if I didn't have to wait half a year extra for it.

>absolute majority comes from consoles
not like this has been the standard since gen 7 started or anything.
Until they actually reveal numbers (Which they probably never will) we'll never know just how worse epic is than steam, but I'm betting it's not anywhere near as badly as people are pretending. metro wasn't exactly a blockbuster series to begin with.

I said that it couldn't get worse 5 years and 10 years ago, but unless reddit literally buys the site I don't think it's actually possible to get worse at this point.

Why don’t PC versions sell as well though? Like in general?

They have Fortnite money. They arent going anywhere. Take solace in the fact that with studios these days, by the time it comes out on steam it'll actually be relatively bugfixed.

>I don't want to see games that are shit or shovelware
>but I also don't want to see games that are actually being bought and have good ratings
What the fuck do you actually want then?

Less users and those who are users can't get every game for hardware reasons. Building a PC is less intimidating to most people than it used to be but there are still people who think it's too hard and would rather buy a box ready to go that they know can play anything they get for it.

Sure, if you have something strong. But it struggles on X-Box, PS4 and medium-end rigs.

Nier is a game you need to bruteforce.
You CAN push it to 4k60 on a 2080 or a 1080 Ti, but considering the visuals it should have no problem hitting that on a 980 Ti.
But it has plenty.

>SOOO YOU THINK YOU MESS WITH CHINA HUH FUCKEN AMERICA PIG?? WELL TAKE THIS TRIAL OF DA DRAGON MOTHAFUCKA

Was that the one where they sent some guys personal info to some random person?

That's the issue with Nier though, you can force it with fancy specs, but people with beefy rigs aren't a big consumer base. And it's not that it's a graphically intensive game, it's just hilariously shitty coding, it might be one of the most unoptimized games in years. Games that are way more graphically intensive are less taxing than it.

This has been said for as long as I remember

No, Huawei was banned from doing business in the US because of their connections with the PRC government.
Then Intel, Microsoft, AMD, Qualcomm, ARM, Google, etc. etc. all cut ties with Huawei because fuck dealing with that shit.

I wasn't aware of something like that happening, thanks for the info.

The only way Epic could really curb stomp Steam is if they make their games not only Epic exclusive but PC exclusive. And we all know that won't happen.

Total War and Football Manager are literally the main products keeping Sega afloat m8.
You think fucking Persona and Yakuza come anywhere near the numbers those two franchises pull?

>This is why they continue to stick with the EGS despite the obvious deficiencies and loss of sales
Good then so they will die instead like the geedy assholes they are, making the PC gaming a better place for gamers again.

I hope shooting themselves was worth the short-term money gain.

If you end up finding only shitty games ons team that's your taste fault. You can't hide your videogame taste from Steam, you are just telling us all that you enjy playing dogshit games so much that Steam keep showing them to you.

No, Take-Two were pushed to Epic by Randy since Randy gets a fuck huge check before the preorders get in. The dude loves money, not video games. The fucker took millions in royalties meant for his employees who signed a contract for a portion of royalties to make up for low pay.

You say that when EA, Ubisoft, Activision and blizzard have hurt their brands for decades and still stay in their top places

I really don't give a shit, it's a no name sequel to a no name game in the first place, go ask Epic to give the devs some money or something.

>I hope shooting themselves was worth the short-term money gain.

Clearly by how less than enthused the guy at the THQN call was to talk about anything involving the Epic Game store, it's clearly not going as well as they'd hoped

the general search shows the same results for everyone, fucking retard.

It's worse than the original Last Light sales, which were actually much better than the 20k meme. They are actually based on the Last Light complete edition with the DLC, which came out less than a year before Redux came out and I think Redux had already been announced when it released.

That would explain why sega bought two point studios. Hope they make a new tycoon game soon.

EA and Activision are pretty much dead on PC though, EA is only still relevant because consoleniggers are addicted to buying microtransactions in Fifa.

EA, Ubisoft, Activision and Blizzard also have billion dollar brands behind their name. Small devs and indie devs don't have that kind of staying power.

lol no, you dont even know how Steam works and you predent to spit shit on it because youre a retard.

>not like this has been the standard since gen 7 started or anything
that really depends
AA or Indie usually sell better on PC
AAA sell better on consoles
that was during last gen, but now, PC has been growing, its usually the second best performing platform outside of a few selection of mainstream western AAA like BF/COD/FIFA/Forza etc..
its even the second best platform for Ubisoft in the past year
you still have the seventh gen mentality where you think PC sales account for almost nothing

also, to your second point, every single version of Metro have sold best on PC, suddenly for things to change so drastically? yep, merely a coincidence

its SEGA's third best selling franchise, behind Sonic and Puyo Puyo

im nto taling about recomendations, im talking about general search you dumb fucking imbecil

When you have Call of Duty or FIFA or stuff like that you can shit on people easily and get away with it. But you can't use Metro or Hades or Satisfactory as a threat.

>Thief
It still hurts, bros.

>Puyo Puyo
Wow, never realised how well Puyo Puyo sold. Seeing Etrian Odyssey at 1.9 million after over 10 years really makes me happy that clearly the devs have a soft spot for it, I fucking love the EO games and I'm glad they make then even though they sell like nothing.

Wasn't Nexus the last EO game, or just the last one they're doing for 3DS?

Any game with denuvo, or on epic store I will pirate.

Last 3DS game, the franchise itself is fine. Atlus has already teased a new game but said that it's early in development so they can't show anything yet.

I literally bought Sekiro last week for PC.

good, fuck those assholes and fuck epic. chink slave holders, fuck them and fuck their amazing game... I do think it's a fantastic game. fuck supporting douche bags though

damn straight

Ok cool I really like that series so it'd kida suck if it was going away.

wtf i love epic now

It's time to get metro exodus for normies butthurt

The only reason of why Metro games sold the best on PC is because Slavshits can't into consoles.

Come to think of it, nu-Theif was literally just Dishonored. Which came first anyway?

>the only reason the metro games sold the best on pc is because customers who would buy the metro games prefer to play on pc

I'd also like to know. Rdr2 or gta going epic exclusive would be the shitstorm of the year as far as I'm concerned.

They'll keep on doing it as long as Epic pays them for it. Which will be as long as the Fortnite money keeps flowing. Which won't be that much longer.

Post timestamp you retard, no one is going to watch hour long video. This is your job to provide proper source

Its just strange that you would make a claim about the Canadian government not caring about national security after hearing news about how Candain authorities arrested Hauwei's CFO to extradite her to the US to face charges beyond spying (such as also breaking trade embargoes), which has put Canada and China directly at odds and wrapped yet another Western nation in the America's trade war (along with nations like Australia, and Brittan to an extent). Most would not say nothing is being done immediately after hearing something was just done.

Probably because Valve isn't paying people to only put their games on Steam.
That and they're pretty open about wanting PC to remain an open platform.

>Mention retards are just watching the answer for the first question and concluding that's it for the Q&A session

You should be ashamed for being this dumb with how long you've been here

>early access
Only by name. Those fucking autismos have refined the hell out of it.
Probably the only thing it needs is a proper tutorial/demo with the new stuff and they can call it a day.

>Probably because Valve isn't paying people to only put their games on Steam.
You don't need to pay when you are the only shop out there that matters.
>That and they're pretty open about wanting PC to remain an open platform.
What the fuck are you even talking about, please explain

>What the fuck are you even talking about, please explain
Valve is the only major platform on PC that actively supports all PC operating systems.
They also put a ton of work into their Proton initiative which makes OSX/Linux gaming genuinely viable.

I want competition for steam but not like this man

Pretty sure epic support osx as well. They don't have a fucking shopping cart, it would be hillarious if they started their own proton like thing before implementing basic features.

Epic doesn't even has statistics, so devs can say their game sold better than ever on the Epic Store and nobody would be able to question it.

Attached: 66543.jpg (480x380, 60K)

>Pretty sure epic support osx as well.
They've been "working on it" for months, and their support is still awful.

They didn't cut ties because they wanted to, the American government forced them to no longer do business with Huawei. Huawei is a significant leader in China and if Huawei develops their own OS, then Google just lost their foothold and will probably never recover.

For smaller devs, yes.

>literally just doing their job is something to be proud of

Putting all the stupid /pol/ rethoric of "muh china" by the side I think it was pretty clear that the fortnite kids wouldn't suddenly pay for games just because it was in somewhere they could see, it was a really dumb bet to begin with, even on steam they estimate that there are less than 800 thousand people who truly buy games with some persistence

Yea, I guess Huawei's going to be developing their own chips as well since ARM also cut ties.

Well, to be honest, not sure how the hardware will work out, I just know Google will specifically be impacted by this.

Epic has gone out of their way to snub Linux, so I don't think that's likely.

That's right, majority of sales happen during launch period.

The game is not that good. It would flop on steam the same way. This may be the reason why they accepted exclusivity deal in the first place.

Who would of thought people would be mad when you pull the steam release a few weeks before release so you can go exclusive on a chinese malware platform. A platform so incompetent they dont even have a shopping cart. Then they had a sale and people brought games one at a time which after a certain point flagged their accounts and banned them for too many transactions. Not trusting my cc to a company like that.

That was a joke tho. I mean come on

The only reason I didn't buy exodus is because it's not on steam. Ive been using steam for something like 15 years, All of my games are on it and always have been. I have a pretty nice computer, and like keeping my desk KB+Mouse clean cause it makes me feel nice, Having my desk and chair match my furniture is nice to, as is getting a ncie background and keeping my desktop clean and having alllll my games in one place. Why in the fuck would i get this egs shit so i can have a single fucking game that's not on steam where i have both of the other metro games? What a fucking joke
