BL3 has twice as many players on Epic as peak BL2 players on Steam

Guaranteed sales from Epic does not equal players Randy.

based op, farming another 500 seething and coping steam drone replies :)

It's also a much hyped sequel after a long time.
A more interesting comparison would be to release on both platforms and compare player counts and sales.

eat shit.

There's no proof good enough for the Steam drone.

>Why yes, I compare the numbers in 2019 to numbers from 2012 when the steam userbase was much smaller

Nice reading comprehension

So Risk of Rain 2 sells 1 million copies x $20=$20,000,000

But factor in Steam's 30% cut, and it's down to 14,000,000

But Satisfactory sells 500,000 copies x $30=15,000,000

And you factor in Epic's 12%, that's down 13,750,000

So in the long run, Satisfactory will make way more money than Risk of Rain 2, especially with the cash injection from Epic for the exclusivity.

And I'm not even accounting for Gearbox's 10-15% they get from the ROR2 devs (Oops, that's gotta hurt)

>why yes current steam is dead, monster hunter peaked with 330k, biggest steam release this year, but randy is still getting more money thanks to the 12% cut

>current steam is dead

LMAO

>zero proof
lmao
also
>steam will die off
epic store is hot garbage that people only use because they buy out exclusives like the slimeballs they are.

Yea Forums how's the game running for you so far? hearing all those technical issues on leddit kinda worries me a bit

What's with this coordinated effort to paint 30% cut as some evil Steam thing rather than just the industry standard for years, and the same as Playstation, Microsoft, Nintendo etc?

Epic is a platform being sold to publishers, not consumers. Right now Epic's putting forth the Fortnite money for timed exclusivity to show that big games can not only sell well off of Steam, they can even get people to double down on games they already purchased and buy it again on Steam. 99.9% of people don't give a fuck about ingame chat, or web browsers, or forums, or fucking shopping carts, they only care about where they can get the game for cheap.
In order for Epic's store to fail, the number of people who hate the Epic Store and will not buy the game on Epic OR ON STEAM after exclusivity end's total revenue needs to beat out the extra 18% the publisher/dev makes on each sale during exclusivity. Everybody always fucking says "Waiting for the REAL version of the video game six months from now :)))" instead of vowing off purchasing the game ever. No matter how much Reddit brigades and screams and creates cringy /r/fuckepic posts, the general public couldn't give less of a fuck about store exclusivity.

>Twice as many people bought it on Epic as did BL2 on Steam
Learn statistics you braindead retard.
>BL3 has a new version of Denuvo that hasn't been cracked
Pirates don't care and have other games to play.
>Epic guaranteed sales
Epic is still using an unsustainable business practice that will have to end eventually. They've openly admitted this.

>What's with this coordinated effort to paint 30% cut as some evil
well, not my intention, 12% cut just gives more money :)

Badass

Look everyone, it's our first "muh proof" post of the thread, hilarious, I look forward to many more

>Long awaited game of a series is released only on one platform on PC
Gee, i wonder why people are buying the game on that platform.

What good are hard numbers or facts to these Steam drones when those same numbers come from Epic themselves, a company they don't trust from the getgo?

I'm sure BL2 had the same phenomenon when compared to BL1.

BAD ASS

You can buy Epic Store keys on Fanatical, Greenman and Humble - same as Steam games

This is also wrong. Steam takes a smaller cut once you reach a certain amount in sales.

EVERYTHING IS A LIE STOP TRUSTING THEM

>if Valve doesn't get their shit together they're going to go the way of the dinosaur along with all their boomer fanboys.

What does 'getting their shit together' mean? Can you explain what the benefit to me as a consumer is to have store fronts in a fight to see who can throw more money at giant publishers?
Meanwhile as a result of this 'competition' nothing is actually getting cheaper

>come on bros let's band together and defeat this great evil!
Fuck off to leddit.

>steam ui update next week
>suddenly egs shill ching chongs pop up
Hmm............

Add in the Gearbox cut for ROR2

$1 has been deposited into your steam wallet

$1 per post is actually good money. Where do I sign up?

Id rather just save money myself using Steam. I'm not sure why Im meant to care about gigantic publishing corporations getting more

I don't give a fuck, I bought Borderlands 3 and Metro on Epic because I didn't want to wait a year to play them. Got burned on Metro because Xbox Game Pass has it for two bucks. I'm just saying that saying fuck you to corporate overlord Epic then giving the publisher/developer money after it's off Epic is just giving them the revenue they would've gotten normally.

Actually it's even worse

>1 Artifact card has been added to their accounts.

Well as you can probably figure out, publishers getting more money ultimately makes game development much more attractive, it'll encourage the industry to grow.

At the moment Steam is just hoovering up money and productivity, Valve don't even make games

Looks like this whole epic game store is really working out well for them. Do you reckon Steam is gonna get mogged?

>publishers getting more money ultimately makes game development much more attractive, it'll encourage the industry to grow.
Or they will just pocket it and add more microtransactions.

>Took 2.5 months for Satisfactory to reach 500k (which happened after Epic's big $10 off everything sale)
>Took 1 month for Risk of Rain to reach 1 million while selling for $20 straight through (and the buy-one-get-one copies aren't counted towards this)

It's also been three months since Satisfactory hit 500k sales and we haven't heard a peek on sales success

gaben is not giving out money for free, quite the opposite the epic sale this year was much better

>Do you reckon Steam is gonna get mogged?

Doubtful. Epic's working at a snail's pace at getting the Epic Games Store even close to the same kind of functionality that Steam does, in addition to the fact that they have been desperate enough to build a user base that they had the sale back in May where they took $10 off of everything in the store that cost $15 or more (after publicly stating that they would never do big sales like Steam because it devalues games). They're desperate for market share, and if goddamn Borderlands 3 doesn't do the trick of getting them some regular customers then nothing will

Ok.

Name one time this has actually happened with any of Epic's exclusives.

user don't post actual fake shit that the shitposters put up for you to take the bait on

>we haven't heard a peek on sales success
We haven't heard anything from other games too.

True
>World War Z
>Satisfactory

That's actually it. If a month goes by and Randy isn't bragging about selling at least one million Borderlands 3 copies on PC then I'm gonna laugh my ass off

a game makes money on launch user, sad reality I know

Oh yes, the socialist
>logic

Kys

They never told how much profit they have made.

There are many games with long sales tails. Early Access games like Satisfactory and Risk of Rain 2 should be those kinds of games

2k usually share numbers after one month of release. And i don't think randy is allowed to share this shit anyway

yes satisfactory sold like 500k, they started with 0, pretty solid

at least he removed the title and using its abbreviation now, too bad is still using OPVA store alternate name.

Just add twice as many and peak to filters, no matter if he changes md5 every single time, he will soon run out of words to use or mods will finally do their freaking job and call LEA on Dickford

See

Really means nothing when we don't know what Epic's assured revenue amount was

Business area Games – Coffee Stain
Coffee Stain released the following new products in the quarter ended March 2019:
Title
Publishing
Label IP Owner Platforms Channels
Goat Simulator: The GOATY Coffee Stain Own Switch Online
Satisfactory (Early access) Coffee Stain Own PC Online
Net sales of business area Coffee Stain were SEK 98 million. In the quarter we had a successful early

During the coming year, Coffee Stain Studios in Skövde will focus heavily on continued development
and improvements on Satisfactory, which has become one of the Group’s key IP’s. The business has
great momentum and has proven their ability to develop and publish quality content in high demand.
After the quarter end, Coffee Stain Studios has signed two unannounced Investments and publishing
agreements with two different Scandinavian developers

cope
they sold 500kish units, their quarter report is undermining it

It's so funny to see paid shills marketing in full force like they will bring anybody over to the Epic Game Store. And if you're not being paid LMFAO.

I don't care about Borderlands but steam shills can eat shit. It's a free market, baby.
