Epic gets some games cancel their Steam outing in favor of their store

Epic Games, the company behind the successful game 'Fortnite', launched a few days ago its own digital video game store, with which they seek to compete with Steam, GOG, and the rest of alternatives.




To attract developers to their platform, in the Epic Games Store they "only" get 12% of the revenues, while in Steam (their main competitor) they demand 30%.

First games that bet on the Epic Games Store

It seems that this tax rebate (and all the excitement that is generating the platform) is causing some developers to begin to seriously bet on the Epic Games Store.

According to a report by PC Gamer, some games have already disappeared from Steam, in order to focus its launch in the Epic Games store. This is the case of 'Satisfactory', a game created by Coffee Stain Studios and which disappeared from Steam without prior notice.

Its creators have confirmed that this game of construction in the first person will be exclusive to Epic Games Store, without making it clear if it will reach Steam in the near future. Many people have complained in the social networks of this movement.

On the other hand, Jace Varley (community manager of the study), published a video in which he affirms that "many people will give their opinion about it.
'Journey' will arrive at the Epic Games Store

Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is a game created by the Double Damage Games studio. Through an entry in the official blog of the company, they announced that they have opted for the Epic store, where they will be exclusively for one year.

As we can see, Epic Games is betting hard to bring developers to its platform and stand up to Steam's hegemony. A few days ago we knew that they will give away a game every two weeks and that soon 'Journey' will join, which for the first time will make its landing on PC.

JQBX, listen to music with your friends in private or public groups where everyone can be the DJ

Image
JQBX (sounds like "Jukebox") has just become one of my favorite applications this week, if I had discovered it before maybe it would have gone to one of our best lists of the year. If you are a music lover and you have at least a small group of friends with whom you enjoy sharing your discoveries, you will almost certainly love it. Those who once used the deceased Turntable.fm probably find something familiar, basically brings that concept to the Spotify era, and Spotify plays an important role with JQBX, since you need a premium account of that service to enjoy the app. Since we have established that only Spotify Premium users can enjoy this little gem, if you are one of them, keep reading and failing, we feel in your soul that it is not integrated with any other streaming music service. Join or create your own music room, DJ or let some friend or stranger be it Jqbx Genbeta App interface in macOS when you're inside a room JQBX is completely free and integrates 100% ...

After years of dispute, Google sells the domain 'duck.com' to DuckDuckGo

Image
It can be quite frustrating that your main competitor has a domain that interests you. That's what happened to DuckDuckGo, who spent several years trying to get 'duck.com' from Google. It all started in 2010, when the Mountain View company acquired On2 Technologies (a company formerly known as The Duck Corporation). Google bought On2 and the domain one year after DuckDuckGo was born. Google has hundreds of domains that point to your search engine (for example googel.com) and some DuckDuckGo users were surprised to enter 'duck.com' and end up in Google. A few days ago, rumors began to emerge that Google might have changed its mind, and now NamePros has been in charge of confirming the transfer. Of course, at the moment it is unknown how much they have had to pay Google to release this domain. DuckDuckGo thanks Google for changing its mind Gabriel Weinberg, CEO of DuckDuckGo, thanked his rival for this gesture of goodwill, since from now on it will be much easier...

'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Queen is already the most reproduced song of the 20th century on the Internet

Image
Universal Music Group has revealed that 'Bohemian Rhapsody' has just become the song of the last century that has been heard more times in streaming, surpassing the 1,600 million reproductions.   The acclaimed song of the iconic band Queen recorded more than 40 years ago and part of the Hall of Fame of the Grammys has taken the place of another classic, but from the 90s, 'Smell Like Teen Spirit' by Nirvana. The number of reproductions counts both those made in Spotify and Apple Music and other streaming music services, as well as the reproductions that the video has on YouTube. In Spotify the song is about to reach 600 million views and on YouTube the video has just over 750 million. One of the reasons why the song had a boost in popularity recently have to do with the biopic about Freddy Mercury and the band that premiered recently, titled in the same way as the song: Bohemian Rhapsody. While other twentieth-century songs like Nirvana's 'Smell l...
