The current GameDiscoverCo newsletter from Simon Carless, PCGamer.com and some reddit users have analyzed some unpleasant business results for the Epic Games Store. As part of the dispute with Apple, it has become known that only a title from EPICs "First Wave" new exclusive title (December 2018 to June 2019) was profitable.
The titles in the corresponding statistics have been blackened - but the release data mentioned in the document can still be relatively relatively relatively interpreted, under which it was respectively. Only the Simulation Satisfactory of the Coffee Stain Studios have recaptured more than the minimum guarantee amount: In this case, the early access revenues have already surpassed the sum in this period ($ 11.6 million), the EPIC's manufacturer for exclusivity paid ($ 11.5 million).
That the title is a bestseller, the 500,000 sales already made clear the Coffee Stain Studios reported a week after the launch.
Apart from Satisfactory, however, only two other exclusive titles from the store were listed in the documents, which are expected to recreate at least their cost of EPIC. With a negative example published in 2019, it is likely to handle Journey, which, at the time of statistics, only recorded 2% of its minimum warranty, namely $ 300,000 - compared to EPICS investment of $ 14 million for the exclusive deal.
Metro Exodus has caused even larger losses: Revenues have reached just around a third of the minimum warranty of $ 37 million until June 2019. The poor results should also have contributed to the former displeasure of fans. The exclusive deal of the shooter was finally announced weeks before Launch.
