News Epic Games Store

That explanation holds up until you try to a UE5 game on a £3500 PC and it runs like warmed up dogshit, so I suspect devs aren’t working to the high end either.

The tech just sucks ass.
Fortnite also stutters like a motherfucker, so i guess Tim can't make games either

Epic will have run a 20% cash back for over half the year. Surely they'll beat last year's third party revenue numbers, right?

Fortnite promoting a ripoff of a Roblox game made with AIslop. From what I read they gave it the royal treatment with social media posts, in game banners, notifications and mobile push nofications. But hey it hit 400k concurrent and the Roblox version peaks at >21 million so I get why they did it.
 
Fortnite's player numbers the past week have been downright miserable, barely peaking at over 1 million on weekdays and 1.6 million on weekends. You can't even say it's kids returning to school as this time last year it was peaking at 1.5 million on weekdays and 2.5 million on weekends.

All the cool kids play Roblox now.

Very happy to hear that.
 
Fortnite is a dying game. Yeah it has bursts of popularity when something of relevance gets absorbed into the cultural blender that is Fortnite, but ultimately the trend has been down.

Maybe if instead of betting all on a limited pool of exclusives (of dubious quality too) Epic invested more in making sure the EGS got literally every single successful pc title in the last 5 years, maybe things would have been different
Why would anyone use the store where you can't play Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, Atlus games, most Sega games, most Capcom games, Super Robot Wars? Like Concord launched on the EGS, but Helldivers 2 didn't! Imagine that

I think there's a new EU guideline that requires game devs to allow that, but it's still a great thing. It would be even better if they didn't obfuscate the real price behind funny money, but one step at a time.

Going on a tangent, I know Mihoyo had a settlement with the US government about a year ago and they started giving price ranges to guarantee a gacha character. The prices range from like $2 to $475 which is wild. I'm always happy when companies are forced to lift the veil a bit on their shitty practices.
