News Epic Games Store

In regards to Darkest Dungeon 2, it has completely died on Twitch. The game sold quickly 100k copies in some days as the devs reported, but nothing reported since those numbers. The game also did huge numbers on Twitch during launch week, but every since launch month, the game has done worse on Twitch than the first game, the first game has done better on Twitch ever since after the first month of release for DD2.
I hugely expect the sales did well for 100k because it relased during a time when Epic had coupons and the sales quckly died afterwards.
It has been many times it Epics front page carousel, but that doesn't have worked well according to Twitch viewers.

After months of being missing from the top sellers list, Rocket League and Final Fantasy 7 Remake finally showed up again. I guess the person in charge of the top sellers API eventually realized something was up.
Or they just make it up as they go along.
No way in hell this is a real thing xd
It has been absent since... January? all the sudden at top 10'? yeah, no, that's not how it works, if it was on deep sale, I could see a spike, but 80€? nope
I bet 1 or 2 sales would probably hit their top 10 list
It seemes the free vanilla xcom2 on egs is rotten:
Probably it will push the steam sales of the game, which is in salre rigth now for 12€ with all the dlc

I know we've had this discussion in the past, but I really have no reason to believe that the top sellers are worked. If I were fixing the numbers, I would at least make something like Mythforce, which has a spot in the top carousel, make the top 25 list (speaking of which that game is still using Steam for updates). I don't think there's any grand conspiracy, just general incompetence, but we'll have to agree to disagree.
You're exaggerating, but it probably doesn't take more than a few hundred daily sales to make the list, outside of new major exclusives and Genshin/RL.I bet 1 or 2 sales would probably hit their top 10 list
Not really, as mentioned multiple times some spots do no make any sense, as Arc I don't think there's a conspiracy but clearly that Top 25 doesn't work properly most of the time or do display results that do not correspond with what the market is doing, there are boost and downs that can't be explained all the sudden.I bet 1 or 2 sales would probably hit their top 10 list
Sometimes it misses one game.
The top seller list is full of shit and I recommend people to stop using it.
Warhammer 3 added Steam Workshop support in a recent patch. As far as I can tell, there is no workshop support for the EGS version which is ironic considering Troy Total War was the very first game to launch with EGS mod support. After nearly two years there are only two games that have EGS workshop support with the other being Mechwarrior 5. I assume developers won't bother with EGS workshop and just rely on Steam Workshop or mod.io.
Epic half-asses a lot of features just to be able to show it checked off on the list.
reminds me the joint project for preload with gearbox for Blands 3
Meanwhile Wlands didnt have preload
Epic is asking a court to stop Google from yanking Bandcamp off the Play Store
Epic acquired Bandcamp in March.

"Epic also claims music artists might have to wait longer for their money, too, saying that its current payment system allows artists to be paid within 24 to 48 hours of a sale, but that Google doesn’t pay developers until “15 to 45 days after a sale.”"
Imagine complaining about 15-45 days when certain game store (hint: not Steam), will take 75 to 105 days after a sale.
1st January sale -> end of February + 45 days -> April 15st ish.

This gives us some insight into why Bandcamp's owners sold, as this has been on the horizon for quite a while. This would obviously be an issue regardless of whether Bandcamp was independent or owned by Epic.
In general I actually think Epic has a stronger case against Google than Apple. Apple has never pretend iOS was an open platform (their platform, their rules), but Google likes to say Android is an open platform as a feature until it comes to bundling other stores with their devices, at which point they start getting funny.
Things like this don't make Google look good.

While epic are in a much better position against google and I would even go as far to say they are in the right in this instance (shudder). I still dislike the fact that musicians are collateral damage in this. If the judge does rule in Google’s favour and epic don’t back down, the artists lose a revenue stream that was previously open to them.

Don't forget about all the cheap (and underage) labor when the Fortniteverse goes online. Epic wants a piece of that Roblox pie.
Twitter Owner Elon Musk Says Apple's 30% App Store Cut Is 10x What It Should Be
While Apple's requirement of a 30% cut before allowing apps to be sold in the App Store has long garnered criticism around the world, one new voice has now been added to the mix. And it's a loud one.

It’s just more Muskrat hyperbole.
Still, interesting to see that he takes the Tim Sweeney POV that it’s a tax, and that taxes are inherently evil.
And by “interesting” I mean “really fuckin’ dumb”.
Tiny Tina is on sale for the next six weeks. It must have sold wonderfully. The Mega Sale probably starts next Thursday and ends the 16th so 2K just deiced to have it run throughout the entire thing.
He's likely equating Apple's service with something along the lines of a card processor. At best he's intentionally being obtuse and at worst he's an idiot.
At some point Apple probably will have to relent and allow alternate stores, especially when the Digital Markets Act in the EU passes so Tim will eventually get what he wants. What the aftermath will be like is anyone's guess.
He doesn't. He's continuing his "disruptive techbro" persona by wading into this argument.
It's the same shit Tim does: out of touch billionaire portraying themselves as hero for the downtrodden and poor, except for all his public stances and actions as an employer and public figure that actually keep those same people downtrodden and poor.
...or he has money in a system that would profit off apple being forced to open up
You can now play Fortnite on the Steam Deck without having to install Windows. 
I wonder if it will matter for their Apple case. I could see Apple as spinning it around to say they have not meaningfully blocked Epic as Epic, and any other claiming Apples monopoly, have more paths to letting folks play on Apple devices.
He's still paying royalties, but they're going to Microsoft instead of Apple.Billionaire found a way to avoid paying royalties to platform owners in order to earn even more money. What a great world we live in.
We don't talk about that, because Tim needs the consoles in order to make money. Same deal with Epic published games.
Not even the first person as Gaming on Linux did a video first, IS EVERYONE AT EPIC THIS ARROGANT?!?
He really is a poor man's Elon Musk.
Is this
I regret reading that.
Tim, Notch and Elon all seem to be cut from the same cloth. Billionaire manchildren who just keep getting worse and worse.
Hi Tim! Repressed any attempts at worker collectivism lately in the pursuit of the marketing and data collection-focused Metaverse? Or just tweets that willfully ignore the fact you're a billionaire boss crunching hundreds of people forced to sell their labour, throwing Objectivism around like a valid philosophy in 2022? Here's a response from reality:

I was actually fine with that statement until the word Metaverse came up.
