The Epic First Run programme allows developers of any size to claim 100% of revenue if they agree to make their game exclusive on the Epic Games Store for six months.

After the six months are up, the game will revert to the standard Epic Games Store revenue split of 88% for the developer and 12% for Epic Games.

I already block ads and advertisements, so the game will just be completely off my radar for another six months until I see friends start playing it. Eh. It's far too much effort to try a new platform after the dumpsterfires of Origin and Uplay to play 1-3 games.

The only game I'd actually install a new launcher for would be a new Half Life Game.

I had a friend who really got into satisfactory. And since we were all a factorio group, it seems like our kind of crazy. We are excited for it. When it came out as an epic exclusive, that one friend went for it. And tried to get us all to join him. We're like okay we'll join you soon as it comes out on steam. Some converted some didn't.

But over time I've had my personal friends tell me, yeah I see why you didn't make that choice, earlier I thought you were just being stubborn but now I totally understand it.

Totally understand what exactly?

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 5 points 1 year ago

They now understand the logic behind not supporting exclusive titles to walled gardens.

That the game wasn't worth playing. Lol?

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

That the game was still in early access, had bugs, and didn't have many features or ways to progress.

After a year of development, tho, it's a different kind of story.

I only installed steam to get the orange box.
