Epic Games have release their 2025 Year in Review for the Epic Games Store, and they appear to be doing doing quite well compared to previous years. Be sure to check out our guide to play titles from Epic Games Store on SteamOS / Linux.
For 2025 they’re reporting 317 million total PC users, with a 67 million average for monthly active users (-1%) and 31 million average daily active users (-2%).
Epic has a lot of cash thanks to the success of Fortnite, and they’ve been burning through it to get people into using their store along with giving out all those free games (100 given away free in 2025). So third-party PC game revenue is essential if they want the store to actually succeed and it appears they are starting to turn things around.
It wouldn’t call it salty so much as disgusted down votes. Salty implies someone’s jealous, and why the fuck would anyone be jealous of someone else buying a game regardless of where it’s from. Makes no damnable sense.
On the other hand it’s well known the majority of gamers that frequently online discussions anywhere on the internet dislike the epic store and see it as awful. So calling them disgusted down votes fit.

Yea, definitely felt dirty buying from there, but it’s the only store the game will ever be available from, and Remedy makes fine games
Wait, does remedy have an exclusivity deal with epic?
For Alan Wake 2, yea
Epic entierly funded the game, and as far as I know, that includes it being solely on EGS
