Stick100 posted:Epic is owned 10% by a Chinese company, I don't think they are giving them anything beyond rough metrics at best. quote:In an attempt to gain more GaaS experience, they made an agreement with Chinese Tencent, who had several games under their banner (including Riot Games' League of Legends) operating successfully as games as a service.[37] In exchange for Tencent's help, Tencent acquired approximately 48.4% of Epic then issued share capital, equating to 40% of total Epic — inclusive of both stock and employee stock options, for $330 million in June 2012. Tencent Holdings has the right to nominate directors to the board of Epic Games and thus counts as an associate of the Group.[2]

Somewhat related, but there's a good twitter thread by a goondev, also reposted by the guy who did DUSK. https://twitter.com/gausswerks/status/1121776022532370432

So Ubisoft's been touting Anno 1800 as their fastest selling Anno game. They claim it's sold four times as many copies as 2205 did during its first week, a figure sites like PCGamer are happy to repeat. The fact is, it's the easiest thing in the world to look at Steamcharts and see that the "four times" number could almost single-handedly have come from Steam. The last game's peak was 7,401, the current's is 25,214. Zero way of telling how many people bought it on EGS and Uplay. Now, you could argue that Ubisoft is cannily having its cake and eating it too by creating an artificial scarcity on the most popular storefront, taking Epic's exclusivity money and sales-guarantee, and continuing to sell it on their own platform, but it still doesn't prove EGS' long-term viability, I think.
