Epic Games reportedly paid US$10 million for 'Control' exclusive

Ever wondered how much it cost Epic Games to have exclusive access to Control on the PC? A new report has the numbers. And if it's accurate, the total amounts to €9.49 million (approx. US$10 million or around CA$13 million). The numbers were discovered in a recent financial report by Control's parent company 505 Games, Digital Bros. The story is in full Italian, but ComicBook claims it looks legitimate. 

Either way, it shows that Epic Games is willing to pay a handsome amount for exclusivity for its PC storefront. What isn't known is if it'll eventually show up on other stores. The possibility that this is sort of a timed-exclusivity agreement is there with the game may be showing up on other storefronts after the deal is over. The game is also available on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Video: Quick look at Fujifilm's X-T1 Camera Remote functionality

 

We recently got to see the new Fujifilm X-T1 mirrorless camera in action. Although we didn't get too much hands on time with the camera outside the demo area, we did manage to shoot a video showing the cool Remote Camera functionality that allows control and mirroring via an iPhone. More than just good demo, the uses for remote camera functionality for a weather-sealed semi-professional camera are quite expansive. Specially for shooting outdoors and in sub-zero winter conditions. Seems like ILCs are beating DSLRs in terms of features and integration with existing technologies.
