far from it. Just because you don't use it, doesn't mean many others don't. Epic wouldn't have received $355 million in third party sales if nobody was using EGS.

How much of that have they spent on exclusivity deals I wonder. Funny how they don't disclose that number.

Not my fault you people keep on bringing up stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with what is being asked here. It doesn't change the fact that Bethesda would make more money.

No, $355 Million is from third party sales alone, so are you seriously calling vbucks as being third party on EGS? really?

Also, Epic is by far not the least used store on the net, GOG says Hi by the way

Gog is a specialty store for DRM free games that have offline installer capabilities. FO4 released on there recently with all DLC.

ok, that doesn't change the fact that GOG is used extremely less than Epic Store is.

GOG don't pay for exclusivity either.

It is a prime source for it's key selling point, good old games. It is also sometimes the only retailer selling games pulled from other storefronts for being broken or having other issues, such as one of my old favorites Dark reign 2.

Which reminds me, I should do another run of that some time.

$355 Million on third party sales alone in 2022, proves you wrong.

355 million are not that much... for context 355M/60 dollars are like 6 million copies sold at d1 price... only elden ring on steam sold over 10 million copies so 1 game on steam is almost doble all of the third party sales on egs... meh

lol yeah and those 355 million weren't even profit as they wasted a lot more on buying out exclusives

epig is a joke of a company and the only reason they're still around is cause tencent and fortnite

[randommonicle]

why should i or anyone else care about anyone's profit margins? From a consumer perspective epic offers nothing worth moving over for.

That is irrelevant to what this is about, since I am not talking about this game being exclusive to Epic Store.

$355 million spent by customers on third party games on EGS, clearly people are willing to buy third party games on EGS, since Epic provides 88% for all sales through EGS, that means any sales that happen through Epic would have been at 88% revenue share, meaning more money from those sales.

It stopped being "good old games" back in 2008, when they decided to also concentrate on getting new games to their store, which vast majority of newly released games to GOG are also newly released games for the PC releasing to Steam at or near the same time.

Its still a lot of money, lots of potential for Bethesda to make more money.

All you are doing is trying to justify that developers should only ever release their games to Steam only, and that no other PC store should even exist at all.
