PS store, twitch, kick, youtube. This was a huge marketing failure. At a minimum they could have recouped a massive chunk of that $400m if they did another $10m in marketing.

A $400m loss could have been come down to $200.

This is also partially a consequence of the loss of the E3 convention. There’s no longer a central forum for showcasing and building hype.



Why do you think Epic is trying to jam everything into Fortnite?


I just did it with Linux Mint. Works great. No issues so far. Just do it.




Another thing is the infrastructure that Steam provides to get the games to the users and support them costs money. If Capcom wants to build the infrastructure themselves it will cost them more. they will have to charge $100 (exaggeration) and they will only be serving Capcom games.


Exactly. Steam provides a service to these companies (a pipeline to customers) and they don’t want to pay.

They are free to make their own, like epic, ubisoft, origin, etc. have, and I am free to continue to use Steam, which I prefer because it provides a service and it works and I feel is a superior product.
