As part of the new approach plan of the company that develops the platform, Valve will proceed to remove "a series of videos that are not related to the games" indicating that they will no longer be available for sale. Despite what has been mentioned, it must be emphasized again that the content previously acquired by a user will remain accessible. Otherwise, it will definitely go away from the Steam store and no user will be able to access that content.
 
Valve has seen its almost total dominance of the PC market through its Steam platform has been challenged with the arrival of the Epic Games Store to the competition in the industry. Epic developers of the latter and creators of the popular arch game Battle Royale Fornite has managed to make the PC gaming landscape see a division in terms of their acquisition, thanks in part to their proposal to offer higher percentage of profits to the videogame developers in counterpart of Steam.
 
Epic has already managed to ensure a distribution of exclusive independent games such as Ashen and Journey, in addition to a pair of triple A of the caliber of important games such as Metro Exodus and The Division 2. The first of them under a great controversy and controversy to see how this mentioned exclusivity was achieved a few days after its release, being removed from Steam causing annoyance both in the fans who remain true to the platform and in Valve itself.

Pattern 2 He has run a lot of water since Fornite passed his inspiration, PUBG, and became by his own pulse that kind of fashion that transcends even the apex of popularity that many games would like to see. But, from the beginning of this 2019 has seen through the release of Apex Legends, from the developers of Titanfall, Respawn Entertainment, an incredible competition for the position of the most popular Battle Royale on the market. But despite this Epic Games wants its users to know that their game is in good health.
 
Although much has been talked about the millions of players that Apex has moved since its launch, more than 25 million, 2 in its launch week, and how this success would affect with total certainty the success of Fornite, Epic, in response to he has published updated figures on how his game had its best day in terms of maximum simultaneous players at the beginning of February.
 
Epic revealed that Fornite got the incredible number of 10.7 million simultaneous players during DJ Marshmello's concert on February 2. In addition, on February 16 they reached 7.6 million players, this being the best figure for a day without special events.
 
This would make it appear that Fornite is not in a fight against Apex. Also regarding those figures, many other companies have chosen to declare that Fornite with its popularity has helped the video game market grow, instead of simply stealing players from other games. It is probalbe that the same opinion about what has happened with the phenomenon of Apex, which continues to grow and will soon see the arrival of a battle pass in March and a new weapon, Havoc.




On the latter, Epic recently announced for Fornite that the next battle pass of season 8 will be available for free, adding new challenges. Many have seen this move as a desperate attempt by Epic to slow down the steady flow of Apex game up, thus offering the opportunity for its users to save $ 10 (or V-Buck earned beforehand) to access the exclusive content of the game. season 8. It must be assumed that the free battle pass was very important in terms of the record reached by Fornite on February 16, since that was the day that the new content could be accessed for the first time.

Either way, whatever the reason that led Epic to give away the battle pass of season 8, it seems they have had the effect they expected, so despite how much Apex can grow, it's safe to think that even Fornite remains for a long time.
