borderlands 3 'released' a few days ago
Alkatjo:
Epic is a downward spiral and it's only getting worse. Steam isn't paying them any attention because it's ridiculous. The profit epic promises publishers and companies is lost because of epic's limited occupancy of simps.
PhantOS:
its gonna be sad to see the studio that designed borderlands be scrapped due to a lack of sales directly instigated by their publisher. i like epic but i think that they're fighting too much of an uphill battle against a titan such as steam, and the exclusive deals are obviously too aggressive.
a lot can be learned from this. specifically that people will turn down a much anticipated game because of a platform choice
lordician:
I imagine they will still sell a lot of copies, even though many people claim they will never buy from the Epic store.
Only time will tell.
Conan:
metro exodus iirc had more sales than any previous metro game despite being egs exclusive, so tales of egs showing signs of failure may be information selection bias. only time will tell.

Thing is though, how can we know all of them were straight purchases from EGS and not physical pre-orders switched to EGS and digital pre-orders that had to be fulfilled through Steam?
