NEWS Kernel Hearts developer confirms majority of sales are through Epic and discusses the benefits of the revenue sharing
x.comInteresting information with the game having done 160k sales so far and the majority of those sales being done through Epic, with every ten copies being split with six through Epic, three through Steam and one through Xbox.
They also talk about how the reduced fees helps massively too. Glad to see an indie doing well!

DISCUSSION The new launcher is horrendous
Is it faster than Steam to open? Maybe. But everything else about this launcher is atrocious. The Social tab takes up way to much space and unlike the old launcher, can not be hidden, the download speeds are inaccurate and constantly fluctuate which was not happening with the old launcher, and it even was displaying inaccurate file sizes because when I tried to finish downloading the high res textures for a game (I would say the game but the filters on this sub prevent me from mentioning it), the old launcher showed the accurate file size of 24gb install, 60gb total, whereas the new launcher said it was 149gb total which is absurd. Plus, it's somehow less responsive than the old launcher even though pages technically open and load faster. I'm litterally re-installing the old launcher as a write this because they somehow made a worse product which I didn't even think it was possible - and they somehow removed features, like as far as I can tell, there was no way to customize game installs, like toggleing high-res textures, and if it's still there it's hard to find.
On top of all that, the color change of the icon is just super annoying because I have my taskbar color coded and moving the icon's just annoying because I had it in the same spot for 6 years now - I can change it back but it's just another pointless change
There are some good parts - like the aesthetic isn't terrible and the faster load times are better, plus the download page is actually better, it just doesn't function properly. But that doesn't excuse the fact that the launcher is worse to use overall. If they bothered programing it themselves and not using a fully AI workflow, it probably would be a good launcher - not better than steam, but functional.

DISCUSSION [WARNING] I downloaded and tried the new epic game launcher, it's overlay caused some fps drop in some games, so I uninstalled it to reinstall the old normal version and it remove all games that were installed via epic games, almost 300GB of games gone in an instant
this might not be a problem for anyone with good internet connection, but for someone like me who is still struggling with slow internet, redownloading those games will take forever.
so think twice before uninstalling the new epic launcher.

DISCUSSION Do not download the new Epic Games launcher.

It’s simply not worth it; it’s absurdly buggy. Downloads get canceled and turn into mere binary files taking up space on your hard drive—with no way to track where they’ve gone. You can’t even download files directly to a specific folder, because there are so many bugs that it completely ignores the download destination you’ve selected.
On top of that, your assets from Fab keep disappearing, the search function in Fab doesn’t work properly, and your Unreal projects don’t even show up under the "Projects" tab.
It also breaks the file association for all your projects, forcing you to go to your project folder, select "Open with," and navigate to the Unreal Engine installation directory every single time you want to open something.
It’s a sick joke that they even try to make comparisons to Steam, claiming, "Our launcher opens faster than the competitor's." Sure—MS Paint opens fast too, but at least it isn’t riddled with bugs.
I’ve spent 10 hours screaming at my monitor, absolutely furious, just trying to download something through this moldy, petrified piece of garbage.
