      So let's do a little breakdown.

      A lot of people might wanna know how much was on one thing and how much was on the other.

      So the total number of sold on Steam is 1,326,509 and Epic is nine.

      Yeah, I told you like a year ago, we only sold nine on Epic and no one else bought it.

      People would buy it then refund and articles were written on this.

      We only sold nine on Epic.

      Thank God Steam came along.

      I'm kidding.

      Not that I need to say that I'm kidding.

      Apparently I need to say that I'm kidding with jokes like this, but I'm kidding.

      So for real though, on Epic we sold 958,917 copies, and on Steam, 367,601 copies.

      Again, crazy numbers on both, an incredible success.

      on both so that's yeah i mean that's just amazing we could we can pretty much see here though that like if you if you were if you wanted to compare the two and we don't really care about that but i know you guys some folks out there are going to start comparing and making inferences and that's fine but if you wanted to compare them i think steam so far is selling quicker than than uh

      Epic, Epic Game Store.

      So Epic sold in about three months or something, 500,000.

      The total number sold on Steam in about a month or whatever has sold 360,000.

      So it's slated to probably overtake what Epic did at that time.

      There's a few

      Really obvious reasons for it.

      You know, obviously Steam is just a Goliath.

      So there's just so many more people there.

      So that is that is gonna weigh into things.

      Another thing to consider is that there has been the summer sale and we have been on like the top sellers.

      We were like first or top three for a very long time and we're still in the top 10 throughout the summer sale.

      We did have a sale in Epic during those first three months as well, but it wasn't in the first month.

      So that could be throwing the numbers off a little bit.

      Who knows?

      Having said that, I still, in my opinion, I mean, I think Steam is going to overtake it.

      There's just more people.

      And other things to consider.

      Satisfactory is a better game now.

      There's more features.

      It has had one more year of exposure.

      Okay, so that is...
