Awesome news, finally a store that can compete with Steam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Purist 134 Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 I wonder how it compares to Steam, PSN, XBL though. Anyone have numbers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kaz 2,439 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 yeah i have the numbers: epic 0, steam wins Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DynamiteCop 2,084 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) $680 million isn't a lot... Also... While much of that total can be accounted for by Epic's own hit Fortnite, the company noted that $251 million has been spent by players on third-party PC games. Shit flopped.

kaz 2,439 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 the teenager who won 3 mil in that fornite tournament was called "the best gamer in the world" by the media. he also got swatted i hope fortnite dies soon enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DynamiteCop 2,084 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 In case no one wants to do the math in its 13 months of operation they have sold what is the equivalent of 4.18 million games at $60. In other words spanning the entire store and everything they offer they matched the equivalent of a moderately well selling single AAA game on Steam. Wow Remij and Jon you guys are fucking idiots. Like I said the whole EGS illusion was a marketing assault, them competing with Valve was an illusion, they are a paper tiger. This science experiment by Tim Sweeney is a total disaster.

Still not sure why you hate EGS so much. Luckily most people are starting to warm up to it. Hopefully this forces Steam to react. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Mother Fucker 26 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Hey what matters is that more gamers are growing up switching to PC and dumping those locked box consoles. PC you have expansive digital libraries from Epic, Steam, Activision/Blizzard, Rockstar, Ubisoft, and EA Origins. Die console fanboy die! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"Epic Games Store has generated $680M so far, with exclusives being 'critical,' says @TimSweeneyEpic and has attracted 108 million PC customers, and tells GameDaily that its progress with EGS is ahead of expectations." I mean.... that's all that needs to be said... and another year of free games from Epic So OWNED! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
