That's great.
Was thinking about getting Axiom Verge from time to time.

Fantastic, can't wait to get Axiom Verge for free on Steam!

I've avoided getting an Epic Store account until now, but Axiom Verge is a wishlisted game...

Is it intentional to not have one link to the Epic store with all this info about it?
Edit: seems it has since been added.

Metro Exodus becomes Epic Store exclusive, Steam pre-orders will be honoured.
With this shift, they're lowering the price to $49.99 for the US only, the price stays the same for EU.
There's still time to buy the game on Steam, but it will be removed from purchase later today.

this garbage store isn't competition, it's just "monopolizing" all new releases.
thanks 4a and epic-trash, another game moved from the wishlist to the black-list, arrr

Update

Subnautica Below Zero has been added to the Epic Games Store. The game will release in early access on January 30th on the Epic Games Store, Steam and consoles for $19.99.

If you go to their site (unknownworlds one) you will see Below Zero will sell on Steam, Epic and Discord Store

seems like only subnautica devs are smart enough to launch in bothes stores at release.

I would think Metro devs got money for timed exclusivity to the store. I would think every dev that is doing that got some money from Epic to do so. So I think it is nothing about brains but about pockets XD
Comment has been collapsed.
Devs openly stated they get money for exclusivity.
.
One apparently even said deal goes like this:
Epic "how much you think you'll earn on Steam?"
Dev: "10 millions"
Epic: "here's 10 milions, if you go Epic Exclusive".

Regional Pricing now covers 36 different regions(230+ countries) with more coming. This is up from about 2 weeks ago which was only 30 different regions(130 countries total).

Is there a list of all regions and prices, something like steamdb? How do I even know if I'm in a region with a non-default price?

In my region, Argentina, TWD Final Season costs 6 dollars, while its original price is 20 dollars.

Shows $19.99 for me in Serbia. At least it's not EUR price like on Steam.

There's no list I've found online, but if you come across it let me know so I can post it in the thread.

CIS here.Metro Exodus
Was around 30$ Standart and 45$ Gold on Steam.
Epic store: 30$ Standart and 75$ Gold lol.

You might also want to add this piece of info about the regional pricing: https://wccftech.com/epic-games-store-refunding-differences/
Even though that's not much, I think it's nice to see that they actually do this for everyone without the need of any action on customer's side.

Maybe i think wrong but if Operencia is announced for xbox game pass , and is also a playanywhere title , so by wait an "xpg" at 1$ deal (with new ms account) is possible to play it for cheap.

We've just added regional pricing support to @EpicGames for a bunch of countries from Africa, Latin America, and other regions. We currently support regional pricing in over 230 countries.

Not all games currently have regional pricing configured for these countries yet, we're still working on it. But most already do.

Just a reminder that tomorrow will be the last day to get the Jackbox Party Pack for free.

All I have to say to this topic is: Let's wait a bit and see how developers react in about six to eight months. Then quite a lot of the exclusive games will be released and hopefully we have some numbers (not officially, I guess).
At this point in time, it is still in the dark if anything on Epic Store can and will sell (well) that is not called Fortnite.
It will be interesting to see if in the end it works out for developers/publishers. I have my doubt about that, but I can be proven wrong, of course.

I won't list this in the thread but for those interested in Cyberpunk 2077 you won't have to worry about being an exclusive. CDProjektRed tweeted from the Cyberpunk 2077 twitter account that they would pass on being an exclusive on the Epic Games Store.

Like that was ever on the table with GOG being their own store.
That would be like Half-Life 3 being Epic exclusive.
Comment has been collapsed.
I know this and obviously you do as well, but not everyone is aware as shown on twitter.
Comment has been collapsed.
Isn't that the game they develop on their own? The worst that can happen could be like Division 2. But I'd imagine their strong reputation is not worth risking for by being timed exclusive or whatever.
