Apple’s trial against Epic Games began a couple of hours ago, followed by many interesting details from the documents disclosed for the process.
As the meeting is still ongoing, we will gradually add to the material.
Dead island 2 and it looks like the following Saints row will become exclusives on the Epic Games Store – first on PC they will be available only through EGS, and then they will reach Steam and other platforms.
In 2018, Epic Games actively negotiated with Sony on the advent of crossplay in Fortnite. The developers offered many options, and the announcement offered to furnish so that “Sony looks like real heroes in the eyes of the players.”
Options included monthly bonuses for PS Plus, lucrative terms for renewing the Unreal Engine license, exclusive to the launch of PlayStation VR 2, branding Epic Games’ E3 presence with PlayStation, and the like.
In addition, as it turned out, Sony is entering into special agreements with the publishers of major games to enable crossplay – if after that the revenues from the PlayStation decrease by 85%, then the publisher will have to compensate for the losses.
Apparently, however, this applies to a few major releases.
About 7% of Epic Games Store users activated a free game first and then purchased at least one paid game. As of mid-2020, the store has only 3.5 million active customers.
