>MercurySteam's brutal 2025 action RPG Blades of Fire has fallen short of expectations
>505's parent company Digital Bros says it expects its 2024-2025 financial results to be down on the previous year, "impacted by the underperformance of new title Blades of Fire."
>The company notes that Blades of Fire, which was launched exclusively on the Epic Games Store for PC alongside console versions, "underperformed the group's expectations despite receiving generally positive reviews from both the industry press and players."
>There's of course potential for a second wind, especially if the Epic-exclusive deal ends in the future and the game comes to other platforms such as Steam and GOG, putting it in front of players who might have missed it the first time around.
Epicbros...why don't people buy from our store...

Honestly this.

For their sake, I hope they have another 2D Metroid game in the works for the Switch 2. Nintendo should probably consider buying them and just having them work in the Metroid mines for awhile before letting them make something else.

Only Dread is actually good. Samus Returns is okay-ish at best

Nigga, when KINGDOM HEARTS finally got ported to PC and was an EGS exclusive, nobody noticed.
THE Kingdom Hearts, the entire collection. That's three big wishes granted at once (all in one place instead of being spread across like 8 platforms, English releases of all the Jap-exclusive upgrades, and KH being on PC) and fuckin' nobody noticed.
It was so bad that people were begging for a PC port of the KH games AFTER the game was on EGS, and it was pretty rare to see someone actually correct them.

The whole thing was kinda made irrelevant by how overpriced it all ended up being, but still, that right there is the ultimate declaration of just how much of a marketing black hole EGS is.
For me it was Salt & Sacrifice, but that game ended up being really iffy and weird anyway and I never bought it, even after making it to Steam.

I noticed but I was too lazy to get an epic account so I figured I'd wait for it to come to steam

Sorry nobody buys games off your store Timmy. Maybe you should put Fortnite on Steam since that's in a death spiral.

Gee I wonder why. Never heard of it, not missing it. Maybe release your game where people buy games. Not the store people buy vBucks and free games from.
