Epic Game Store freebie: Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair. This is one title I was particularly looking forward to, so...

Yeah, I was THIS close to buying it on STEAM
These retro platformers are like recent point and click adventures for me, I buy them for nostalgia reasons and then never play them. Free is a good price though.

Dumbfuck!
I just installed the epic launcher for this yooka-dooka game and damn, it's refreshing to actually have a client that just runs quickly and smoothly
and isn't an awkward buggy mess that for some reason takes minutes to load pages and tries to force play some retard streamer every time I open a damn game page (STEAM
)

You guys really made me wonder what sort of game would look so good as to convert Codexers to the Epic Store. But this looks like a super faggy game. Cutesy bullshit all over. If that's your taste, no wonder you fags fagged out for the Epic Fag Store. Of course that 10$ off coupon for future buttfucking is gonna come handy for you guys. Don't forget the lube!

I thought I read that A Hat in Time wiped the absolute floor with Yooka Laylee?

Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair is the sequel and they embraced their donkey kong country roots more to great results in it apparently people seem to loeve it.

I had no idea there was a sequel, wow.
Are you saying that I can just waltz in to my local book store and leave with a copy of Don Quixote without paying because Cervantes won't see a dime from it? Cool!

Epic will continue to offer free games throughout 2020: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/artic...-store-tops-usd680-million-in-player-spending
Also infographics.
To put this into a perspective Steam's revenues in 2017 was 4.3B USD (conservatively estimated, by non other than SteamSpy guy himself, F2P games and in-app purchases were not counted) and Fortnite's estimated revenues are billions USD per year. Yeah, 680 million seems small compared to those but without no doubt this is the most successful effort as a competitor to Steam. I have to wonder how much Epic has spent for giveaways and exclusive deals though.
(Also funny they're boasting the average Opencritic score for free games, not exclusive games.)

The article mentions that Fortnite is responsible for 429M of that 680M.
Since their cut is 12%,they only made 30M of that remaining 251M. And that is before you even look into the coupons which lower that even more.
Wow,without Fortnite they would make even less money then GOG.

429M for Fortnite seems really low, that game is everywhere, seriously i have passed through toy aisles in stores where 99% of toys or even just Funko Pop stuff is Fortnite, there is a TCG, it's mentioned all the time and last i checked, it was the most played game on the planet.
Then again, it is F2P and not everyone wants to pay, i just assumed it made more money than that, still, if flyingjohn above me is right, then...didn't Steam absolutely destroy Epic, with or without Fortnite?
Also, i assume the billions part comes from merchandise then?
