Not really, I mean the game has kind of already run its course for the most part and if they make another game who knows if it would even be good. I'd say it's a bigger risk than anything.

Anyway, what this demonstrates is Epic's understanding that they need to build up their own stable of developers and create from the ground up content for their platform. We can be sure that there's more announcements on the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Voidler 1,675 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Makes sense somewhat, Psyonix basically began as an offshoot of UT2004 devs and modders Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,230 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Compare this with how Valve got Left 4 Dead from Turtle Rock Studios, immediately dumped Turtle Rock after the game released, and started developing a sequel immediately, and then dumped Turtle Rock Studios. And subsequently abandoned the L4D franchise after that. Epic is going to build something substantial. They're playing with free money they got from Fortnite. You could argue that if Epic was going to put Fortnite on the PC, and had chosen Steam to put the game on there, that means they would've lost X amount of dollars on DLC transactions because a cut of that money went to Valve. Millions of dollars, possibly hundreds of millions. And instead, they decided to use that money to building an online store and moneyhatting exclusives. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,230 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Why would the developer care about user reviews when the game is no longer going to be sold on the Steam store? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They made a bunch of average games and the predecessor to RL before. They mainly specialised in helping development or introducing car mechanics in games - eg the onslaught mode of UT2004 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
