E3 PC Gaming Show 2019 is being sponsored by Epic (See EGS Guidelines)

[Ge0force]

To no one's surprise:

"The Epic Games Store headlines this year's lineup as a sponsor, and will reveal "brand new material for several games, including some exclusives, coming to the Epic Games store."

Other studios confirmed today include Annapurna Interactive, Chucklefish, Digital Extremes, Digital Uppercut, E-WIN, Fatshark, Fellow Traveller, Frontier Developments, Funcom, Modus Games, Paradox Interactive, Perfect World Entertainment, Raw Fury, Rebellion, Re-Logic, and Tripwire Interactive.

Aaaaaaaand I'm out.

 

[GhostBanana]

Hah-hah. I love it. What does Era think, I wonder?

 

[abracadaver]

Yeah. Not watching them announce more exclusives for their shitty store

 

[Rodjer]

Rebellion?
Sniper Elite 5 EGS exclusive

 

[FullMetalTech]

Epic is everywhere at this point.

 

[Deleted member 11214]

Wasn't last year's basically a big advertisement for the Epic Games Store anyway?

 

[Resiverence]

I expected them to go in on the PC Gaming show but not THIS hard jeez.

 

[manchego obfuscator]

EGS exclusivity sucks but I'll still watch for the indie announcements

 

[Charamiwa]

Man PC Gaming Show is always a cozy time far from the madness of other conferences. If we start adding exclusive deals and drama to it it's going to get worse. But I guess it's the PC gaming world we live in now.

 

[Hektor]

How much do we bet that the show will go full console and actively withhold mentions of steam or other stores for non-exclusive games

 

[NanoGuidingStar]

More EGS timed exclusives are on the wayy

 

[5taquitos]

PC Gamer and Epic sitting in a tree.

Their Epic headlines get more and more transparent.

 

[Ge0force]

I guess this also explains PC Gamers' constant shilling for Epic and downplaying people's concerns.

 

[Kerotan]

They are taking over. Hitting the market from every angle. Definitely going to go HAM at this E3. Expect lots more exclusive announcements.

That was The Game Awards

 

[Jawmuncher]

That's a skip from me chief. I was annoyed enough already when AMD was sponsoring and taking up time. Can't imagine this will be any better to sit through.

 

[Einbroch]

Okay. Looking forward to the games.

 

[BasilZero]

I will read news about it so I can see what games to expect in 6+ months from its release on EGS ;p

You're confusing it with some indie show that happened in December

The EGS wasn't around in it's current form last e3

 

[Danteyke223]

I still dont get the issue of games being exclusives to EGS? I consider it like a netflix vs amazon sort of thing.

 

[DailyCalmSpirit]

Well, at this point, I just hope they announce improvements to their store. Just make it a better platform and I'll support it.

 

[Umbrella Carp]

Never seen a company revel in throwing their newfound weight around more

 

[GarthLordOfTheSith]

Yeah. Not watching them announce more exclusives for their shitty store

Click to shrink...

Yup. Same.

 

[TheChungusAmongUs]

Everything shown will be Epic Game Store Exclusive.

 

[Quintus]

I called it Epic will a have press conference, but couldn't predict it would be this soon.

 

[Ja-]

It all makes sense now

 

[Kazer]

Yeah fuck that.

 

[KoolAid]

There it is.

 

[Deleted member 3196]

And I'm out. Not interested in any Epic exclusives so there's no point in me watching.

 

[Deleted member 5621]

* pretends to be shocked *
This just means five or so games have a 6-12 months delay.

Rebellion?
Sniper Elite 5 EGS exclusive

They just had an interview saying they won't do exclusives.

 

[zon]

No thanks.

 

[0451]

Well, at least PC Gamer being 100% uncritical about the Epic Games Store makes sense now.

Sadly, that won't be far from the truth. I'm definitely not gonna watch it.

EGS wasn't a thing till December I think?

 

[Hektor]

As a side note: would it still be considered "vilifying games media" if people accuse Pc gamer of getting paid by epic? 🤔

 

[Deleted member 10737]

 

[Static]

I am shocked.

Welcome to the PC E3 6 hour extrrrrrrrravaganza, I'm Sean "Day[9]" Plott, available exclusively through the Epic Game Store.

Are any EGS titles 100% exclusive? Regardless, unless they specified. I'm sure timed exclusivity would be something they allow.

 

[gdt]

This is amazing. It's like super villain level of saturation lol

Same here.

I mean, who even needs Hard Drive or Onion Games Network when the industry itself trips over their feet and falls down the stairs. For almost half a year, PC Era have been joking that the PC Gamer show would be sponsored in some way by Epic Games and their store. I mean, we shouldn't be shocked by this announcement but yet at least a little part of us were by how blatant this is.

Now imagine if Valve did this.

 

[Fatmanp]

The complete and utter meltdown when RDR2 gets announced.

 

[Mentalist]

Surprising no one.
I'm betting 40% of titles will be EGS exclusives.

And no Sega? That's disappointing. Is the age of Best of Japan ports coming to an end?

 

[5taquitos]

PC Gamer has officially shown their ass, I'm done with them.

Me neither. Would sincerely like to read a detailed list of reasons from someone who can rationally explain their hatred for EGS. For example: It currently lacks features. This is true but can be fixed. Otherwise, as much as I like collecting games into one launcher I do not understand the allegiance to Steam.

"Some indie show"

It was The Game Awards

Yup, it's sad that's the case but at least it makes some sense.

 

[abracadaver]

Last years E3 PC show was pretty good. EGS wasn't a thing back then.

Some of the games that were announced at last years show ended up being EGS exclusive though (Satisfactory, Maneater)
