Square Enix and Crypto

They gotta recuperate those inflated costs they are paying for new servers somehow.

you know that ff14 did create tons of benefit, they don't need this for pay for the new server... they need to stop spending cash stupidly... or have bad commercial decision. example: exclusive launch on EGS, have a part of the content exclusive to some plateform (yes i talk of the debacle of marvel avenger). they need to stop to look at short term gain...

FF7R and KH3 are Unreal engine games.

Unreal Engine is 5% base royalty if you sell outside of Epic Store, whereas it's already included in the 12% Epic store cut, and they probably got a sweeter deal from Epic by going exclusive. That's a lot of revenue for a AAA game vs Steam.

Your personal feelings don't matter, making money matters, and it's selling hot.

we are digressing at this point, but just a food for your thought... EGS barely have 200-250 million account, most of them is fortnite by the way. when steam is pass the 1.000 million... 5% is nothing compared to the market lost by exclusivity... by the way, if that was selling this much, they will not plan to sell it on steam too... from the get go it's short terms gain... by selling on both shop from the get go they will have touched more people. the reason behind exclusivity is because egs give cash that all not a story of cut on ue or this mythical 12%
