10-15% is more than I expected...

So Hades 2 is the number 1 seller on Epic Games Store, but it's the 73rd most played game.

It's currently the 14th most played on Steam by daily users. Probably a few thousand sold on EGS and several hundred thousand sold on Steam.

It's actually lower than pre-OG as there was a really weird spike yesterday that took it from 1.9 million to 2.3 million.

The numbers will pop up again with the new season next week, but Epic's metaverse isn't happening right now. I think they simply got beat to the punch by Roblox which has been doing it longer and does it better.

I mean, Timmy has a pretty big mouth. If KH was permanently exclusive or Epic ported it themselves he would have screamed it in full force
If in the next months KH suddenly appears on Steam it's honestly par the course for Square. Taking years to release something that could have released as soon as the contract expired is no different from what they're doing with FFXVI (and will probably do for Rebirth too). They love giving free exclusivity to their friends while saying in interviews "porting is actually really hard and our game really took advantage of being made for a single platform, promise xoxo"
Nagoshi was the same while at Sega, and everyone can see how as soon as he left Sega became much more multiplatform
