Coffee Stain Studios has announced that its latest PC game, Satisfactory, has sold 500K copies on the Epic Games Store. And while the game is currently available exclusively on Epic’s store, it is the most successful game launch for Coffee Stain Studios so far.
Like most Epic Games Store exclusive games, Satisfactory was criticized by a number of PC gamers for abandoning all other stores. Still, and despite that backlash, it appears that the game has sold well. Now whether this is a sign for more Epic Games Store exclusivities remains a mystery.
Satisfactory is a first-person open-world factory building game with a dash of exploration and combat. In this game, players can chart and exploit an alien planet, battle alien lifeforms, create multi-story factories, enter conveyor belt heaven, automating vehicles, and researching new technologies.
It’s also worth noting that the game is currently in Early Access and will not release for at least one year.

Obviously fake news, since they previously admitted that they only sold 9 copies.
Their discord alone has 20k users. If you really thought they only sold 9 copies. :facepalm:
Sir, I was joking as well. 🙂
damn me.
It’s ok. This comment section is full of people who are saying that unironically. Which was kind of my point, but context/tone is lost in text lol
That is true though. They put their other game on the Epic store and it sold terrible numbers. The Dev had a twitter storm over it. You are very naive and have never worked in a real corporate upper level job. They take no prisoners, you think the Iron Throne politics are twisty, lol. Go work as a VP or higher in fortune 500 company. For the record I do not. I do however have family members that do. The info they give me is crazy. It was eye opening and made me glad I took another path in life.
I doubt that, its all a PR move to make it look Epic is successful, its just not possible, remember goat simulator developers ? Made 9 sales on epic store. Yeah no gtfo with your lies bought cucks.
Dude Satisfactory is made by the goat simulator devs ?
Thats even worse then lol
Exactly, since this is those Devs, I can promise some shady garbage went on behind the scenes so Little sWeeney can not look so foolish. All it takes is some funds to be allocated, fake accounts made and games purchased behind the scenes. Any person who even slightly trusts Tim Little sWeeeny is foolish at best. he is nothing but a puppet for the Chinese Commie Bastages who thinks he is the Master of Puppets. Pride always comes before the fall. I give it 5 years and most of the truth will be revealed. Just remember nothing in life is free. Nor are corporations your friend. Some do better than others no denying that, but at the end of the day they have one goal. That is to maximize profits from you and every other individual they can. Some are more honest than others, but many like Epic skirt on the edges of legality and morals and would go past them if they knew they would not get caught. Likely many already do but pay the right people to get skirt the law. The very fact so many sit back and do not care is why the West is being toppled right in front of eyes. They are doing it at .01 frames a second so no nobody freaks out and sees what is truly happening nor doing it fast enough people worry. Slow and steady wins the race.
Doesn’t surprise me, EGS is far less saturated like indie stuff on the Switch
Yeah on the platform such as epic that lie to consumers everyday
Here for the salt
If you ask nicely, I’m sure someone will explain to you how to use a torrent client.
Awww. Cute. Watch out, that much salt isn’t good for ya. Look at Kim over here.
So, you like when strangers spit and get off in your mouth. You do you. I don’t judge
Stop projecting your fantasies lol.
lol!! No my fantasies involve having 1 beautiful female age 21 to 30 of each race alone with me on a boat in the Caribbean with nobody around to bug us for at least 50 miles. Jungle Fever FTW

That’s a very good mindset. I see no reason to be dismissive because it’s on a platform not everyone likes.
I really don’t mind using the EGS, I go where the games are. I have no loyalty to Steam.
I have no loyalty to Steam or any other launcher as well. But I don’t want paid store exclusivity deals to become the norm on pc, so I won’t support any games or devs involved in this practice.
Can’t hate on devs for trying to stay afloat. I can see not wanting to use Epic, but the devs really need this kind of support.
What devs do you know that are homeless or living out of food banks? What devs do you know that earn less than burger flippers?
We’re not talking about hourly wages here, we’re talking about profitability.
If it wasn’t VERY profitable, we wouldn’t see software developed on such scale.
I didn’t say it was “very” profitable or not so.
You’re really coming out of nowhere with your comments and expecting them to mean something here…
No, I am saying it is VERY profitable. Learn to read.
Let’s be honest here: Epic has only been moneyhatting the most popular devs and games so far. None of the EGS exclusives would have done worse on S3, on the contrary.
Also, the devs who need this extra support the most probably can’t even get their games on EGS right now. And I don’t think Ubisoft, Annapurna or 2k need Epic’s money to stay afloat. This is only about greed and taking down Steam as much as possible.
Do you honestly believe that the “devs” get to see a penny of that extra money. More like the publisher pockets it.
So let us say the following. A guy opens up an Auto Repair Shop called Steam Auto Care. He is doing well, being honest, prices are in line with industry standard. You just bought a turd Chevrolet. You know because you bought such a turd you will need repairs often. You go to Steam Auto Care. Steam Auto Care becomes the Number one Auto repair Service Provider in the U.S.A. They did it with hard work, listening to their clients, and giving them what they want. Good prices, options, and refunds if they feel the service was not up to their standards. Then out of no where Epic Auto Care opens up and then makes a contract with Chevy that you have to now repair your vehicle at Epic Auto Care only. This is illegal in the U.S.A for a reason. This is exactly what Epic is doing. You can argue otherwise but it is an undeniable fact. Now, you also claim that Dev’s deserve to be in business. That they should never have to actually you know deliver a good product that people want to buy. You and your logic(lack there of really) is why America is failing. America was never about guaranteed outcomes, only that we all had the same chance to get on the starting line and race with no interference. It never promised you would be 1st. It never promised your business would stay in business. I almost pity you. Almost.
P.S. “devs really need this support” No they do not. What they need to do is deliver what consumers want to consume. If they do that they will magically stay “afloat” as you put it. What you are advocating for is for devs to be lazy, never innovate, and accept handouts. A welfare state of play if you will. Pathetic.
Your comparison here doesn’t make any sense. Repairing a vehicle, something you already own, has nothing in common with where you go to buy a video game.
Making bad comparisons like this doesn’t strengthen your argument.
An analogy is only useful when someone doesn’t understand the concept, anyway.
This is nothing like what Epic is doing, and it isn’t illegal. Stores carry exclusive products all the time. Walmart does it, Target does it, Best Buy does it, Steam does it. It’s standard practice.
If you pity me, it’s out of ignorance, not reason.
My analogy got you thinking, and it backed you into hole. Yet, when you or I buy that “Exclusive” product we then own it. Now you are at the mercy of EPIC and only EPIC. If you fail to see the issue you are blind. Also, Just like prepaying for a game you can prepay and order an automobile before it comes out. So my analogy works good enough. It says more about you than you want to admit that you agree to such shady business tactics, but scream at the top of your lungs that “yohoho” life style is pure evil. For the record I am not generally for any kind of theft, or stealing but I also realize there may come a time when it is necessary for the greater good. In today’s world it is easy for many of us, specifically (perhaps I am assuming here) the youths of today including yourself to have skewed morals and yet tout them as the be all end all, because you have never lived through extensive poverty, unjust ways, evil in general. You may see it on your computer screen but it is a much different experience being shot at, or shot yourself(I have a bullet wound on my right forearm. Went in and out, shattered my ulna and did significant damage to my radius and it did heal up pretty well)…. This will only get worse too. You may think it is just a video game, but I assure you others are taking notice from other industries. There may come a time when these people watching implement it to other products and services. How these companies do it so individuals like you just accept it, is to take baby steps , or death by a thousand cups. What I am saying is some day they will do something you finally have an issue with, by then it will be to late because you were indifferent when you could have stepped up and change the course of history. God Bless you.
“This is illegal in the U.S.A for a reason. This is exactly what Epic is
doing. You can argue otherwise but it is an undeniable fact”
If it is illegal then how come they are still doing it, are still in business and there is no lawsuit, police, government or regulators going after them? Maybe it is not so illegal after all, or otherwise – since you say it is “an undeniable fact” – everyone (that matters) does not care.
Sometimes I think people see what they want to see, please read my post again. I said it was illegal in the Automotive business sector. I never claimed what Epic is doing is illegal in their business sector. It should be illegal in all business sectors that do the same or similar tactics though. I know you will never admit you read it wrong, or just jumped the gun.
I cut that out for you to re-read.
“Epic Auto Care opens up and then makes a contract with Chevy that you have to now repair your vehicle at Epic Auto Care only. This is illegal in the U.S.A for a reason.”
No where did I say Epic games is doing an illegal act. You assumed that I infered that. Never “assume”, cuz you know that old saying…(if you do not know it look it up) God Bless you.
It’s not about the platform, but the enforced exclusives, the removal of consumer choice. Why is that so hard to understand?
I’m of the same mindset, just don’t give a sh*t enough to care about these borderlining childish controversies in gaming. Wherever a game is, and I want it, I shall buy it..
I post this under everything related to this. People need to be pissed off at Valve for not immediately updating their revenue share to be more like EGS in order to combat it. Tim Sweenyok ultimately did the right thing and if his idea works, video games will be overall a bit cheaper to purchase.
Anybody who has loyalty towards a multi-billion dollar corporation needs their head examined, they all want to f*ck you out of your wallet.
You clearly know jack about business. No wonder you bury your head in the sand. Slow Clap at your bravery and superior “intellect” that was sarcasm if you needed clarification.
And we, just like you, don’t give a sh*t about what you think, or do with your money.
Why Valve would do anything? But most importantly, why the f*k should us, the consumers, care how money a developer makes? I pay for the game, i don’t give a damn about the rest. Until epic became so “relevant” literally no one cared about this BS. No one cared about how money a developer makes. Valve doesn’t need to anything, Epic sooner or later will run out of money, and they will destroy themselves.
And Valve actually updated their revenue share, but not by much. And that is ok, because Steam is a huge platform with lots of features, that aren’t cheap. Why do you think Steam is the best? Because they invested money, a lot of money in creating it. And constantly updating it. You’re retarded if you think having the biggest store in gaming comes cheap. Tim Sweeny did what? Nothing. People are still on Steam, and Epic still makes mistakes after mistakes. Banning users for buying more than 5 games at once is the biggest mistake they ever made, and people will not forget about that. And also, for your small shill brain, Steam never banned anyone for buying games. lol.
How they want to f*k you out of your wallet? By giving you insane deals? lol. That’s what you think? So, buying a 60 euro game on Steam with 25 euro is something bad, right? You need your little head examined yourself.
I think everyone would be pleased if Valve shaved off a few percents. Epic reinvests the money they earn whereas Gabe keeps the money for himself and is already one of the US’ top 100 wealthiest persons:
https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2017-10-20-gabe-newells-usd5-5bn-new-worth-puts-him-in-us-top-100-wealthiest
You are being very naive. Gabe is the sole owner of his company. Epic is owned by several people/entities. Gabe reinvests just as much money back into Steam if not more than Epic. DO you think he built Steam up by luck and good fortune? Maybe a little bit but use your brain.
look at the face and the flag behind him, doesn’t he remind you of the average internet user who defends epic?
there are only two possibilities for this : 1-he’s lying 2-they count the money that epic gave to them as sold copies. there is no way that 500k people bought an indie game from the most hated online store.
huh and yet a lot of people are playing Fortnite so if EGS was so hated how did Epic make so much money out of Fortnite?
Lmao. Are you that stupid? That game is 90% played by KIDS. Not teenagers or adults. They don’t care nor know about this stuff.
It doesn’t matter who is playing it, it’s bringing in money, which was his point. People don’t pay for things they hate.
Yes, it does matter. Because kids love free casual games like Fortnite. Therefore they will play it, and buy cosmetics. They don’t care that EGS is affecting the PC gaming community. Because they are again, KIDS. It’s the norm, the way of the sheep. Those kids don’t give a damn about this problem now, because they are having fun with the game. If tommorow Fortnite would have age restriction, 90% of the community will die.
All these kids have credit cards?
No. But they have parents. And parents are buying things that their kids want. Or have you not heard about the kid who stole his mother’s card and bought v-bucks? lol.
Exactly. Kids have parents, parents pay for it. Parents who obviously don’t think the store is “destroying” anything.
That one kid who stole a credit card isn’t support for an argument. He’s just a little thief and should be discounted as so.
Parents who obviously don’t know anything about gaming, in general. Let alone greedy companies like epic and tencent.
It’s not an argument, but there are a lot of cases with kids who stole their parents credit card.
fortnite is on mobilephones as well as on consoles, do you have their financial reports or are you just good at sucking diks on the internet?
Well deserved, excellent game.
“I don’t believe it. It’s not possible. How can the game sale 500K units if there are only 7K people in the ENTIRE world. This is fake news. I only get my REAL news from people called XxxD4rkS3phirothxxX on reddit. They are the only ones you can believe.
Trusting a game dev to tell you how much they sold? What’s next? Trusting them to make games? That’s like… have you ever read a book? Or watched this 10 part conspiracy series by a youtuber who just reads stuff he sees posted randomly online that sounds inflammatory and never bothers to check any of it, and just ends stuff by saying he’s giving us information and letting us decide on our own that we agree with everything he says in a constant circle-jerk, or are paid shills for refusing to take everything he said at face value?”
–Sad people on the internet right now
It’s pathetic how hard you’re trying to be edgy. You tried to act smart, but you failed. And now you look like the typical epic user. Braindead and retarded.
500K of an early access game with no established franchise history, on a recently sprouted up digital store which has garnered a crap-ton of hatred?
I’ll call that bulls**t. Wow, this just reeks of it.
Might want to take off that tinfoil hat. Coffee Stain are well-established developers, and not everyone cares about your pointless outrage machine.
3 indie games is now what you need to be “Well-established developers” ?
They’ve been around for 8+ years and have sold millions of copies of those “3 indie games”, so if that means nothing, then I don’t know what else would satisfy you.
You’ve posted some good information but you may wish to dial back on that obnoxious attitude.
Fair enough. Just some of the people on here can be quite insufferable with their hate and conspiracy theories.
So suck it up. “Insufferable”? Right, because media is never misleading for marketing purpose. Nope. Never happens.
Guessing you’re the type that believes SquareEnix has “16 MILLION PLAYERS!” in FF XIV too, ya? Spin comes in many forms. Maybe you should go and buy a tinfoil hat.
Only the gullible believes blindly.
3 indie games one of which is a hit (due to random luck and the internet ability to make memes) in 8 years, yeah sorry it really does not satisfy me as a “Well-established developers”.
It’s… 4 games…
Sure thing, bud.
He’s right, you know. No conspiracy here. Lots of people like the Epic store. Not everyone is obsessed with Steam.
Who said it had anything to do with Steam? The smarter people avoid the Epic store due to the anti-consumer BS.
Epic, make piracy great again.
Don’t confuse pointless outrage with intelligence.
Your opinion does not equal intelligence.
Neither does yours.
You misread my statement. I wasn’t calling you stupid, although now I kind of am.
I was saying having an opinion doesn’t make it a fact.
Satisfactory is more or less Factorio in 3D. No doubt many Factorio players bought it.
Expect to see a flurry of these PR hype pieces as a consequence of the current fire sale at Epic Games Store. The sales figures for cheaper games especially are about as meaningful as Microsoft Studios announcing sales figures following having given their games away for free, or as good as free, in various promotions.
to be fair Steam sales have the same effect. A TON of copies get moved at a much slower pace
Nope. Unlike Epic Games Store, Steam isn’t so desperate to be paying devs $10 per game sold to participate in a fire sale.
Yeah on steam the discount comes exclusively from the developers, not valve themselves. Valve only organizes sales, they don’t sweeten the deal for consumers.
Which promotions are you talking about? Do tell as I would like to join and get free games.
Nothing is ever free. Including your mind apparently. When a product is given away free, it is either addicting, or you are the real product. Only the weak minded and lazy take any for “Free”.
Oh geez, instead of insulting strangers for no reason, can’t you see that I was asking you for your source about your false claim that Microsoft Studios are giving away free games? I assume you were referring to Microsoft’s Game Pass which is a SUBSCRIPTION (you actually have to PAY for a subscription) and is not a free giveaway.
Every time you hear something you don’t like, you just spew “lies” and hope it’s the truth. That isn’t how the world works. Sometimes you just have to accept things work out for people, even when you’re too upset about it to admit it.
Which lies am I spewing? You can take your condescending bulls**t attitude, shove it straight up your worthless a**, and get bent.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8455108f1b16935d768c4a802283c15921a4fc8c8cc66acdab95810dbc692da3.png
He’s right. When a game on EGS does well, you just say “oh they must be lying”
It’s quite funny honestly. Like he said, you should just accept that some games will be successful on the EGS. It might hurt and you might feel your soul burning at the thought, but over time you will learn to live with it 🙂
Yeah he sounds like a broken record
This.
That’s because he’s usually got good reason to do so.
If you’re really too dumb to see the marketing tactics in misinformation, then that’s your burden. When there’s money involved, you hope for the best, expect the worst, and believe nothing. Most people learn this around grade 2 or 3, but I guess some are late bloomers. You’ll get there someday.
Now if you want to sit there and claim that these companies never blatantly lie about sales performance in order to try and save their brand? Well, then you are beyond hope. It’s rather sad that I even had to explain this to you and all the other cement heads here, but there it is.
YouTube censorship against negative opinions and “facts as well”, should be indication enough. Just stick your head back in the dirt if you think otherwise.
Someone is triggered.
You’re calling this entire article a lie, which is a lie.
Look at how many like and agree with him, and how many agree with what you’re saying. This is the sentiment for the Epic Games Store. Only a few uninformed people trust their tactics.
Valve has never had to commit to standing on stage at E3 to promote their store, but Epic is so desperate to drum up business that they can’t let the opportunity pass to try and convince more PC Gamer that their intentions are true.
What an Epic waste of time and resources that’s going to be. I personally hope that they get booed off the stage.
Oh, yeah let’s take the opinions of Pirate Bay here and take it as the opinion of everyone world wide.
Yes, the screaming teenagers of DSO are really upset. That’s all this tells us.
It took valve a long, long time to get Steam to a good place in the eyes of consumers. Buyers hated their practices at first (me included). They did some real shady stuff. Stockholm eventually kicks in.
Epic will do just fine.
Yeah right, Valve was never hated as a company like the way that Epic Games is hated. Steam was hated in the beginning because it was something new that no one had ever seen before, and whenever something new and different comes along people are going to fight it, and or hate it. Hell everyday people hate and dislike almost anything new that they don’t understand, they do that in everyday life.
PC Gamers fully understand Epic Games and we know why we loathe them.
The Epic Game store is not something new or different, and Tim Sweeney and Cliffy B have been loathed and detested for as long as I can remember for being a couple of obnoxious mouthpiece devs. I use Cliffy B in the conversation because he was part of the company at one point in time, and like Tim Sweeney he was not liked and much like Tim Sweeney today he still isn’t like by longtime PC Gamers.
PC Gamers like myself who have been around for a long time never really liked those guys and dislike them even more today. Epic will never be as successful as Valve in the PC Gaming space and with the way they are forced to sell games that won’t be around forever.
If you ask nicely, someone will show you how to use the torrents. No need to be so bitter.
it appears that a majority of those against EGS are pirates who would not have bought games anyway
Really? People with over 5000 games on steam are pirates who don’t buy games? lol. Talking about retards.
I was not referring to you obviously since I do not know you. You may not be a pirate but a lot of people nowadays mention EGS as an excuse to pirate games.
I actually pirate older games only. That can’t be found anymore. And yeah, i pirate because epic stole games that i want to buy on steam. Metro for and TWD for exemple. I wanted to complete my collection on steam. But i can’t anymore. That’s a good reason for me to pirate them.
I can’t speak for everyone but I have 2,063 games within my Steam library and 277 within GOG. With the exception of DS3 and Crysis 3, I’ve not pirated anything within the last 34 years since I started work. Now I quite happily torrent EGS exclusives just to increase the stats.
Your naivety is almost cute. Almost.
I’m not being negative. I’m simply saying things you don’t agree with. There is a large and discernible difference.
lol, like I predicted.
Now the numbers for any successful game must be a lie if it’s on EGS.
Besides, the studio had a following. People were indeed anticipating this game. Not to mention it has a better chance on Epic because EGS has fewer games.
If the game sells so well then why no one is playing it?
How do you know what people are playing?
Stupid f@ck Epic, they want to fool people with made up sales to proof that their crappy digital store is able to sold a lot of copies.
*tinfoil hat*
You look like a pedo, not gonna lie. More like a cuck, in fact.
Stop spreading conspiracy theories.
This is anything but conspiracy theory. We have no reason to trust Epic. NO REASON to trust a store that bans it’s users because they buy too many games at once. All they say are big numbers, yet, as Exodus and World War Z, we never have actual facts. Statistics with the numbers of sells on PC. I wonder why.
do we have those numbers for any game on Steam?
Yes. Steamspy.
They don’t ban people for buying too many games. Credit card systems block multiple transactions from any store. It’s fraud protection.
Most stores and companies do not provide sales figures. They’re all hiding something?
https://www.techspot. com/news/80159-epic-games-store-blocks-user-accounts-making-many.html
It’s weird. I once bought 10 games at once on steam and i wasn’t banned. It may be fraud protection, but still, it’s another big mistake from epic.
It wasn’t a mistake. Steam does it too. Your credit card should do it before the store ever gets a chance to.
I’d consider a different card…personally…
When steam did it? I never used a card. I always bought things through paysafe.
Alright DSOGers put your tinfoil hats on.
EGS successful game ?
IMPOSSIBLE. WE MUST BELIEVE THAT IT IS A LIE. OUR EXISTENCE DEPENDS ON IT.
dude no one is playing this game, if it was a hit you would hear about it all the time.
500k is not a hit though. check steam spy, theres ton of games there with 500k sold. most of which you never hear about.
just to pick an example, beat saber sold between 500k and 1M units.
https://steamspy.com/
theres ton of games there with 500k sold. most of which you never hear about. just to pick an example, beat saber sold between 500k and 1M units.
Let’s use our brain a little, and think about the chances this game sold at least 100 copies.
This is an indie game that ;
No one talks about
No one cares
No one plays
It’s on the store that every pc gamer hates
Looks bad
Looks boring
It’s just another indie game that will die in a few months. 1 year the most.
So yes, it’s impossible.
If they would’ve released the game on steam, it could’ve had a chance to be bought by some people, and then refunded because it’s terrible.
But still.
so now people must play the AAA games from AAA developers? I thought people hated EA and co.
You didn’t get my point. There are lots of good indie games out there, some even better than AAA titles. But those games are good, and unique in their own. This game ain’t. Plus, if it’s on steam, then the game will make money. There are plenty of exemples with good selling indie games on steam.
“No one talks about
No one cares
No one plays”
>>> wrong. The studio had a following and a lot of people were excited for their next game. You just didn’t know.
“It’s on the store that every pc gamer hates”
>>> wrong. A vocal minority online hate it enough not to use it. Most people won’t care that much.
“Looks bad
Looks boring”
>>> Good luck with that. People love the game.
“So yes, it’s impossible.”
>>> No, you’re just misinformed. It’s okay to not know facts, but then atleast don’t make assumptions like this. Not to mention other things like the Epic sale and the fact that there are less games, so games like this get more attention.
>>> wrong. A vocal minority online hate it enough not to use it. Most people won’t care that much.
How do you know who is the minority and the majority?
All we know for a fact, is that the majority of steam users hate Epic. And the majority of steam users, are also the majority of PC users.
You can’t speak for “most” people, when most people already speak up their mind. If you ever looked at negative rewievs, there were always a few epic defenders. I wonder why. So no, that statement of yours is utter BS.
>>> Good luck with that. People love the game.
Really? I never heard anyone talking about this game. Let alone loving it. How do you know how many people are even playing this game? You can’t know. Because epic are too afraid to show you.
>>> No, you’re just misinformed. It’s okay to not know facts, but then atleast don’t make assumptions like this. Not to mention other things like the Epic sale and the fact that there are less games, so games like this get more attention.
Well, and what are the facts? The only fact that exists is that when epic touches something, it turns to literal shi t.
What about Epic sale? That it was a failure? That they banned users for buying games? That they wanted to give borderlands 3 half price and 2k didn’t liked that? You want a fact? Epic makes mistake after mistake. And Valve doesn’t need to do anything, Epic will destroy itself.
That’s a great argument lol. “I never heard anyone talking about it”. So what ? Go and watch the youtube videos of the game by the dev. Look at how much engagement it has. Just because a game sold 500k copies, doesn’t mean that you have to had heard about it. It is indeed possible for games to do well without you hearing about it.
But I’m sure you’d rather just assume that the devs are straight up lying about sales numbers. There’s no point in arguing anyway if you are just going to assume lies.
okay, that’s a nice fact but your use of the word ‘literal’ makes it impossible. Well done.
And none of that will change the fact that Satisfactory sold well on the EGS. It will take time to get over this, but you will get over it eventually. Be strong, and remember it’s okay to cry.
I saw a few videos. Nothing special. Just another indie crap that will die in a matter of years.
Not really. When a game is succesful, you hear about it. Look at undertale for exemple. A very popular indie game that i never played, but i heard. And not on steam only.
As long as they don’t show anything to backup their sale numbers, yes, i would guess that they lie. They have no reason to hid it for us, right? Then why, as steam, don’t they let us see how many people have bought the game?
I’m sorry, my friend. But no facts are involved. That’s the problem in the first place. You can say that it sold well, if you think that then good for you, but keep in mind that’s just you, and probably Kim and Juan. You can have your opinions, but don’t you act like your opinion is a fact. That’s very childish.
Get over what exactly? That EGS buys developers and then pays them in advance because no one will buy from EGS? I don’t care. As i said before, if a game that i like goes to EGS, i will pirate it.
Cry? Nope. No reason to. Laugh at the epic shills? Sure. Laugh at how many mistakes epic does? Sure. I have no reason to cry, you EGS defenders on the other hand…
So even if people give you the sales numbers, you’ll just assume they’re lying.
Like I said, literally pointless to argue, because you’ll always find a way to deny it. Even if a dev gives you sales numbers you’ll just say he’s lying.
Dude. I’ve responded to you 3 days ago. Let’s just drop it.
I just see the notifications and reply lol. Yes let’s drop it.
Alright DSOGers put your tinfoil hats on.
EGS successful game ?
IMPOSSIBLE. WE MUST BELIEVE THAT IT IS A LIE. OUR EXISTENCE DEPENDS ON IT.
Good for Coffee Stain and Epic. Bad for everyone else. PC gamers have made clear to Epic and other companies that paying 3rd party devs to keep their games away from competing storefronts is a successful way to force people into using a crappy store. Well done guys, well done.
So they trolled the Epic doomsday believers with their sold 9 copies stunt: https://twitter.com/SatisfactoryAF/status/1121011708292734976
Anyhoo, this does go to show how small-time devs have a lot more exposure in Epic Games Store. Good for em’ I say.
Depends who they target with their game. Since EGS is basically the fortnite launcher, and fortnite is played by kids or childish people.
By the same logic Steam is a CS/DotA launcher. And CS/DotA are played by real men who play real games??? One doesn’t have to launch Fortnite ever.
I’ve never really understood this argument. Why not go at Sony instead for making Bloodborne PS4 exclusive (among others). Console exclusives are far more detrimental than mere launchers, no?
No it’s not the same thing at all, first because it was created for multiple games and not only for CS, players used it to play all the games it had back then, second because it was the first thing doing that, third it had more functionalities than EGS even at launch, fourth fortnite will remain the most played game on that platform forever and by a huge margin from the second one, while on steam you also have non valve games being in the top 10, actually most of them are and for a period a non valve game was the first.
Surely players of Dota or CSGO are averagely older and usually more mature than those one fortinite, idiots are everywhere, but kids prefer fortnite LoL and a couple of other games.
Consoles are consoles, who the fck cares honestly, they can keep their overrated games if they prefer, and that’s the exact reason why real enthusiast players hate EGS, because they’re basically bringing console war to PC, but instead of consoles, platforms.
So a really good game to come out recently A Plague Tale was made by Asobo Games. They created cheap movie tie-ins and a crappy game called Fuel. So, does that mean we slander A Plague Tale taking the developers past history as a factor? Everyone has to start somewhere right? Fortnite is just a game. Same as Minecraft. Same as DotA. Each has their own community. To participate or not is your choice. EGS is not forcing anyone to participate in the fortnite culture.
I’ve also always said its fine to be feature lite. Forces people to put in a lil more effort than being spoon fed all the time. External forums gain traction, kids learn a few old tricks. I find that alrite.
Aside from that, the rest of your argument was a bit churlish and childish man. Don’t say stuff like “averagely older”. And especially not things like “consoles have overrated games”. I’d be damned if a mob party didn’t erupt when Red Dead Redemption 1/2 were to be confirmed on PC. And thats one among many. Games are games man. No borders.
And a free software is not much of a border is it.
What? Start from fortnite? Do you know Epic Games story? You’re still not getting what i mean i’m saying EGS’ main traction is fortnite and it’ll stay like that forever, and that’s the main reason they have big numbers and they could allow to start bribing software houses for exclusives, otherwise they would’ve remained the same little software house still developing UT and Unreal Engine. It’s normal that since that platform is frequented by kids more than anything else, and another big big chunk of the user base are ultra casual gamers, in order to succeed with sells you have to target those specific people with your games.
Enthusiast gamers, real ones, there’s very few of them nowadays, don’t really care about that ultra overrated game that is RDR, and won’t ever buy it if it ever came to PC, since PC platform is second to none, abd using it like a spare tyre just to sell some more copies is a pretty shi*ty move. Games are games? No, there’s good games and bad games, and most of the good games are on PC, very few on consoles and almost all of them on old consoles, new ones have nothing to brag about.
Yea I get what youre saying about fortnite. They are riding that horse to death thats for sure but who wouldn’t in this industry. Its celebrated even in some quarters. They canned UT which was another bummer. Paragon (for better or worse). They are a business, same as steam. I still don’t see what steam has done that has endeared to fans so much than EGS (features not withstanding). It was the first digital game shop. Maybe that’s why?
So I didn’t mean fortnite was their first. Thats a total misunderstanding there. What I meant was fortnite was the real moneybag. UT and Paragon were, well, being played to some extent but fortnite blew up and they’re expanding on the back of that crazy horse.
I have to completely disagree about all console games are crap remark though. I took RDR as an example for the masses. Trust me, I wouldn’t touch anything from that piece of indulgent borderline hedonistic company they call R*. I’m disappointed about games like Bloodborne, Shadow of the Collosus, pretty much every PSVR exclusives, etc. Point being its subjective and there are genuinely good games there. I love my cRPGs and RTSs but that doesn’t mean I’m a one note player.
Do you really need to ask what Steam has done more than EGS, i mean are you on planet earth or? Being the first is one of the reason yes, if you seriously need to ask what steam has done to deserve this respect i don’t know what to tell you honestly.
I never said they’re all crap, i mean look at my avatar, but still i’d honestly save very few of them compared to PC, and within those, there’s no TLOU RDR or Uncharted among them. There’s no subjectivity honestly there, there’s only high standards and low standards, console users have much lower standards compared at least to me, but in general to most of PC gamers, for many reasons. And console gamers can be labelled more casual than PC ones averagely, that’s why i was also talking about age before…Being a PC player doesn’t make you a one-note player, makes you a more enthusiast player, someone who actually care also about the quality of content and structure of a videogame, and not only about having fun with friends while playing the shi**est possible videogame, but hey we’re having fun yknow? That’s what i mean.
I dont like uncharted and that lot. But subjectivity comes into play man. I still emulate ps2 games which are far more demanding and skill based than most current mainstream pc games. All I’m saying is all this anger and hatred towards EGS couldve been targetted (and should still be) towards the console aquisitions. What would you say if Obsidian suddenly started making xbox exclusives? I really adore their work and I presume you appreciate their work as well. So whats stopping Microsoft from pulling the plug on PC versions to sell their new consoles better? Recently Double Fine were aquisitioned. MS is guzzling up studios. No one gives a sh*t there somehow. If all this exclusivity hatred started back in the console realm, we wud never have had EGS exclusives imo. Better go back to the source. And that is Sony/MS exclusives.
Also you didnt give me any concrete reason why steam has deserved their almighty regard. You simply pointed out I live under some rock, which, who doesn’t? And im hoping youre not gonna answer with our lord the saviour gaben. So supposition on choices of shelter aside, what has steam done to earn such a staunch support, support that seeks to dismantle anything that threatens its supiriority?
No ?
Mordhau is another game with a small team behind it, sold 1m copies on steam.
Yea steam sells. I didn’t mean steam never sells. But Epic Games Store is selling better for indies. In steam, you either sell immensely or not much at all. In EGS, you get exposure far more than in steam, hence, you can sell enough to sustain that next project of yours.
Not all of them tho, again Mordhau is an indie game, sure you get more exposure on epic but good games on steam get the same and are more successful.
Fake sell number. where is the proof?
Where is your proof it’s fake?
See, anyone can do this.
Where is your proof that the game sold that well? The money that Epic gave it to them doesn’t count.
I don’t need proof, there was a press announcement. These things get checked by investors (they REALLY notice if they aren’t making money). It really isn’t possible to lie about these things without being found out, dropped by investors, and going out of business. This tin foil hat stuff doesn’t make any sense if you know the basics of business.
Money always counts, it doesn’t matter where it comes from.
Mate, i couldn’t give a less fu ck about what you’re saying. We have no proof or statistics about this game. We don’t know anything at all. What we know is that Epic are a bunch of cun ts who would do anything to make people “trust” them. Throwing random numbers without any proof ain’t gonna cut it. You can shill it if you want, no one cares about that, what we need are actual numbers, not just some random numbers thrown out there to prove the haters that a pc game can do well even without steam.
What do you know about business? A random dude on the internet?
Yes, money counts, but don’t you come say that epic is competion. Buying developers and then paying in advance because no one will come buy the game from their store is anything but competition.
They just gave you the numbers! What more do you want, go on site and audit the company yourself?
They gave numbers. That’s all. No fact, no information, nothing. Everyone can say random numbers.
Numbers are literally fact and information. Numbers are everything. Everything provable comes from numbers. Numbers are the basis of proving anything scientifically.
You talk a lot of nonsense, you know that? Again, you can try and talk how much do you want. These numbers are worthless. As long as we don’t have any actual evidence, it’s a goddamn lie.
You can keep your opinion, i don’t care. But don’t try to act like what you’re saying is a fact. Because it’s not.
^^
Dude is touchy…
😛
You don’t need evidence when logic is applied. But, I already explained why it doesn’t make sense to make these things up.
If you can’t fathom that…I’m not even sure what to think.
Yes, when you make statements, you need evidence to back up what you say.
You seem to act like you actually are right, and know what you’re talking about.
Oh sure it does, when you’re the most hated “gaming” store and you have actual competitors, of course it makes sense to do that.
Coffee Stain? BS Stain more like.
Epic, make piracy great again.
Of course is succesful, it’s a carbon copy of Factorio (but in 3D)
lmao, always a pleasure reading the comments on Epic news
Borderlands 3 obviously will sell a lot, can’t wait to see the usual butthurt comments ‘fake numbers’ ‘chinese paid articles’ ‘thx for beta enjoy spyware’ :))
“Borderlands 3 obviously will sell a lot,”
why? you can play a bazillion of other games like it.
>Pig Benis
>Clearly a low effort troll account
Begone thot.
EGS is successful for indie developers? I’m so shocked right now!
People are so hilarious pissed off at this because it doesn’t run with the theory that the store isn’t successful or that this is somehow all lies.
Baby b*tches who got your little as*es hurt that it’s actually successful. Stay mad children. Stay very mad.
EGS is bad for everyone, dev included, it might appear not so in the short term, but it surely is in the long one, and for consumers it’s just bad. So i don’t understand what you’re talking about. Accepting bribes isn’t going to help anyone really, if not the one who bribes. Stop playing contrarian just for the sake of it, what more bad practices do you need from Epic to help them convince you they’re fkin bad news? How can you be so blind and naive.
Another day, another mentalist comment from SoyKnutz. gg
jesus, I’ve never had to block this many retards before.
DSOG must be getting popular, or it’s being linked on retarded websites for spergs to come bother.
Lul. I love how you talk shi t, when there are no facts involved.
This just prooves even more that you’re a dumb@ss.
how you know they are deserving?
Hitler worked real hard cooking up those (((peeps))) You think he deserves a reward? In his eyes it was “Good” as with many opinions it is all in the eye of the beholder. Just like when you say “such and such is pretty/handsome”(I was trying not to assume your gender or preference, us normies know how much that offends your type). Ask a any soldier from any war ever and they will almost always say they are fighting a great evil. Then ask a solider from the other side and he will say the same. It is all very subjective. Just remember your perception is YOUR reality. Does not mean it is anybody else’s.
Maybe if they weren’t so busy trolling Steam consumers with their obviously faulty “sales” data their leader was dishing out on Twitter, like it was an honest joke, at the behest of consumers, that won’t be getting to play their game for an entire year.
DO you think they deserve full sales and all the praise, for literally taking the piss out of other consumers?.
I don’t. I think it’s underhanded and scummy. It’s funny when they do it, but it’s not funny when you’re the butt of the joke.
How is it a middle finger? Lol. Literally no one gives a f**k about this game. The money that Epic gave them doesn’t count as sells. No one would buy that piece of indie trash. Let alone, buy it on the most hated online store of all time. And of course pirates don’t have any affect on sales, because no one even bothered to even pirate it.
exactly i have not heard any youtuber i know playing it, twitch isnt doing so well either.
I wonder why.
Why would someone pay money to play this thing, when there are actual good games on steam. You just have to be braindead, something that Kim already is.
You’ve never heard of Markiplier or Jacksepticeye? I’m impressed at how tiny your bubble is!
Mark and Jack always play indie shi tty games. What is your point?
You mean it outsold the likes of Sanctum 2 and Goat Simulator ? Wow, that really shows the power of the Epic store…….
Just cheking Twitch, 299 Viewers at the moment. Does look like more BS from these devs with the help of the anti-consumer Epic store.
Epic, make piracy great again.
Twitch viewers = games purchased.
Logic…
Nope, Twitch simply suggests popularity.
So was this game really a big deal? I mean obviously I know Borderlands 3, Metro, Heavy Rain, etc etc. But I didn’t know anything really about this game at all. Maybe I am out of the loop? Did it review high? Like a few have pointed out there is not a lot of Twitch streams and the like. I see a lot of people claiming this is horses**t…. Can a company lie about that?
Yes, Its a big deal its kind of like a 3D version of Factorio. The game just launched in Early Access 19th of March, So you wont see reviews for the game while yet.

Thank you… I had never heard of it till the Epic stuff.
How to boost your expectations not meeting low game sells? – Lie that it sells well. Stupid ppl will jump on and will buy it.
I laugh how people mocks Steam because it is so overfilled with trash games and because of that good games doesn’t get enough attention. I will just wait till EGS gets filled with crap and devs will cry that they can’t get enough attention :DDD
It already is lol
And yet Total War outsold them in a week, and Risk of Rain 2 in a month.
Sucks to be you guys at Coffee Stain https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d813172254c2e0787a3aff5269f7151265437a5e705f063a34fd0e304022934b.jpg
I hope it’s not true. F*k these guys and epic store. Then again, there are way more than 500k stupid people out there so wouldn’t be surprised.
Remember when Dsogaming published a article about this game not selling 10 – 30 copies !!
Its a really great game, Can’t wait for Update 2 in a few weeks and can finally have Trains!
IF we want to believe that. Or it is a contract obligation to make a video and tell promotional lies about the epic fail store.
