Guess I'll buy it 12 months later, no way going to by from Epic store.

How is it an Epic store exclusive when it's also on the Microsoft store?

I was mildly interested, but not anymore.
Steam has its problems, but I dont support splitting my games over several different launchers. Steam and epic. Sure thats 2. You could also count stuff like blizz battlenet launcher, EA origin, ect.
And exclusives? What the fuck. Its completely artificial. You can still get away with it for consoles with some shoddy excuses, but for PC games no.

Thanks for bumping this, I'd almost forgotten about it. Also it's nice to see someone giving Steam a bit of competition.

Pity you need a virtual machine to run this competition. Originally Posted by Dhrizzle

Couldn't care less about the Epic store thing. It's Obsidian, it looks great, I buy it. The store itself lacks features but it's not like I ever use shit like Big Picture or trading cards or whatever. The only part where this annoys me is having to use yet another launcher on my computer, but eh, I'll survive. And if this causes Valve to get their heads out of their asses a bit, so much the better.

There is literally a huge amount of positive PR waiting for someone to straight up announce they got the offer from the Epic and refused it and are releasing their games through Steam and GoG at the same time... and Epic Store 10 days later to spite them. Or not at all. Less of a loss in money and rep either way. Bad decision on their part.
How is it competition if one side isn't even able to compete for 12 months? Originally Posted by Dhrizzle

You'd rather continue throwing money at Valve, I take it? Despite the fact that they're terrible at policing their own store, don't have any hint of a spine, and don't even make games anymore? Originally Posted by Aeula

Why not? Genuinely asking here, as someone who has never used or seen the Epic store. Why does everyone have a giant hate-boner for it? Is it because they made Fortnite? Originally Posted by Cairhiin

Don't care about Fortnite, I don't play it, nor will I and I just don't want to install another launcher on my PC. I want the game on Steam. Originally Posted by The Stormbringer

The tweet you linked literally says it's not exclusive. It's on 2 store fronts. Originally Posted by Aeula

Here's some food for thought on the subject: https://www.pcgamesn.com/metro-exodu...ail-steam-epic

So, you're unwilling to install a program to play a game you're otherwise very much looking forward to, because it's annoying to have to do so? Because you only want to use Steam? Originally Posted by Cairhiin

Maybe Valve should consider giving people a bigger piece of the pie, and actually moderating their store so things like 'Rape Day' and other cheap, shoddy "games" that are full of glitches and lacking in content don't appear on it.
Not to mention fucking over indie devs.Last edited by The Stormbringer; 2019-03-20 at 09:45 PM.

Yeah those twitter replies are well deserved. It also reminded me that there is still a Windows Store that sells games. Why remind me of that??? GOG would have been the perfect platform to sell on, something I bought their previous games from. Both Pillars games and Tyranny, will have to skip on OW until that's on GoG. They delayed their game's sales for a good year. Originally Posted by Aeula

Obsidian is not self publishing this game, if they where it would likely be on GOG. It's a Take Two funded and published game if you honestly thought it would release on a DRM free store lol... Originally Posted by kail

Take Two had zero issues with releasing on Steam in the past. Originally Posted by Tech614

Guess it depends if the loss of sales to Steam fans is made up for by whatever exclusivity deal they get plus the smaller cut Epic take from their sales. Originally Posted by Darknessvamp
