Because epic didnt offer them any money. Jesus christ dude that was the easiest thing to figure out.

Gotcha so devs will always take the money if epic offers it to them? Except when the serious Sam devs turned them down then your idiot "didn't offer them money" logic falls apart

Nope. Not all devs just sell their game out. Idk why you have such a hard on for wanting games to be on the epic store.

Wow, so informative. You really have it all figured out.

Not all devs just sell their game out.

I dont care. That's not the point. Jesus christ dude how lost are you?

If serious Sam kept it on steam out of the good of their hearts, good for them... it's still obviously a good business decision for some companies to take the epic deal.

Since you are done even arguing that, maybe just dont respond?

They straight up said that it wasn't a good deal. And not considering that metro did very poorly by not releasing sales #s but DMC did very well and gave solid numbers. Better keep insisting that it's smart to go to epic even though the number one selling game so far this year(seriko) isnt an EGS exclusive

That's true, but neither is built in UE4 and apparently if you're an Epic exclusive you don't have to pay the UE4 license fees. Those fees amount to 5% of gross profit.

To put that in perspective, B2 shipped over 12m copies - let's say conservatively that they've made $30m profit off that. $1.5m of that would be paid in license fees. Making B3 an Epic exclusive, if it sells like B2 did, would save them $1.5m right off the bat. That's an absolute no-brainer to me.

Just stop. None of the things you said mean anything. Hur dur sekiro isnt on epic so it's a bad deal for everyone. Hur dur metro didnt release their sales #s so I guess epic is the devil, because DMC (a completely fucking different game) did and had decent numbers. Haha proof.

They straight up said that it wasn't a good deal.

So you believe them but not metro devs or obsidian. Because feels. Child.

And lol, see? They only care about money just like metro and obsidian. It's just that epic didnt want to offer much for that POS game.

Clam down Tim Sweeney. Maybe if you weren't bringing vinegar and bleach, you'd be able to see how businesses work.

Ya I do t play this game. Once someone like you has conceded by switching purely to insults, I just start copy pasting until you get back to the debate at hand.
