ryathal, to games in Epic First Run: six-month exclusivity for 100% revenue share for developers

While it requires setting up your on site to take money, Steam has always allowed developers to create keys for free. They can sell or give those away for 100% of the revenue indefinitely.

merthyr1831,

Humble Bundle does pretty much that from what I can tell. Surprised more games don’t come to the humble store

FfaerieOxide, to gaming in Epic is now offering 100% of the revenue to exclusive games for the first 6 months, up from 88%

I haven't seen anything yet.. they already got some exclusives not on Spotify, but I believe the artists are deciding what platforms they release on. As an end user, all I have noticed so far are improvements to thier android app (Playlists finally, and bringing back the shuffle all feature).

I’m not always captivated by some of the free indie games on Epic, but this one actually looks dope.

I just had my first taste of mod power by having to remove spambot comments from this very post… is this some kind of advanced viral marketing for the game?

I seem to already have this. Every once in a while I go through a tower defense phase.

smeg,

I’ve not played any for years, but they used to be one of my favourite genres of in-browser flash games

Does this still have in-app-purchases? The stream version has them

smeg,

Epic’s page makes it look like it, yeah. Do you know if this is still a “proper” game without them?

keenkoon,

it is. I’ve paid for nothing in it and love this game.

HidingCat,

Shouldn't need to touch them at all.

Acamon, to games in The Elder Scrolls Online & Murder by Numbers now free on Epic Games Store

Well, it worked, I’ve made an Epic Games account just to get a free copy of Elder Scrolls Online. Which I know I will never play seriously, and in the end will probably not even get round to installing just to see what it’s like…

Kevlarrelic,

Epic is great for free games. Check back around mid December they give away games every day with AAA games on Christmas and New Year. Stuff like GTA5 and CIV6.

Yup, I got Bioshock 1-3 and Death Stranding (for free) last year

Every time I think about going back to this game I remember that so much of it is walled off. Hard pass every time.

Isn’t this just a cosmetic for a F2P game?

GammaGames,

Yes

smeg,

Looks like it. The general consensus was that the Destiny one yesterday was basically a game, but I think this is pretty clearly not!

wccrawford, to games in Destiny 2: Legacy Collection (2023) free on EGS

Destiny has been losing players left and right thanks to decisions they’ve made lately, and I can’t help but see this as a desperate attempt to inflate their player numbers. They’ve said in the past that changes take months to roll through, so even if they had realized their mistake last season, they’d still have at least 3 months before they could fix it at this point.

I’m not convinced they are listening to the community, though.

Steev, to freegames in [Epic Games] F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch

Just checked, and I’m seeing it as full price, and I definitely don’t have it.

Is this a regional freebie?

I think they just make a mistake and FIST was not a freebie for this week

AProfessional, to gaming in Evil Within 2 is free on Epic Games Store

Good game, you don’t need to play the first FWIW (not so good IMO).

Weirdly enough, I’ve heard the opposite - that the first game is way better than the second 🤔

AProfessional,

They have a different design so it’s fair to like either. I feel the overall execution of the first was far worse personally.

On MetaCritic the first is at 75 and second at 76 so… I’ll take that as agreeing 😛
