From what I can find Blizzard gets over 25 million monthly users really consistently and that's not including the rest of the store. Toss in Minecraft and Microsoft Store and I honestly would be shocked if Microsoft doesn't hold more monthly users than Epic Game Store. If Steam was as monopolistic as it is claimed by Sweeny, having exclusivity away from Steam would be a death sentence for a game. permalink fedilink source parent
