I imagine people are going to be selling their backer keys for pretty cheap when the game is actually released. They are also getting steam keys when the exclusivity ends.
$10 or bust.

Epic Mega Sale is now live ($10 off every game priced $14.99 and up!) [Read Staff Post]

$10 or bust.
How? I'm not saying these features are popular because people I know also like them. Its not hard to see how popular features like Steam Forums, Achievements, Guides, Trading Cards, Workshop and the Marketplace are. The enthusiast communities for things like Achievements and Trading Cards are big enough alone.
Also its almost like people who are involved with communities behind these features have a better idea of how popular said features are than people who don't care about them.
Absolutely false. The poster that deletes his account was very much looking forward to a number of games that ended up as EGS exclusives. He stuck to his guns and didn't buy any of them. He sacrifices much more than a throwaway account and that is absolutely worthy of respect. You made a judgement on his stance without even trying to learn more about it, just for what you thought was an easy 'gotcha' moment.
And if anyone is creating an account for their first time for this sale, I would highly recommend getting 2FA set up (e.g. use something like Google Authenticator). If not, you might regret it after getting your 50th email stating someone is trying to login to your account suspiciously.
I guess they also bribed me for purchasing UE4 when they gave me a 30 dollar credit. Will take all the bribes please.
byeEpic PR person 1: "pc gamers are pissed at us for bribing developers"
Epic PR person 2: "let's bribe pc gamers as well"
Well done Epic. Here's my response:
^Agreed. I don't even use my EGS account and someone got the password for it, and 2FA is the only thing that saved my account from being lost. Not ready to spend any money there yet.
I'd be really nice if you all could lay off of GeForce, now that they've taken a self requested ban to clear their head. Been there, done that, at some point the dogpile is truly excessive.
I really want to buy The Walking Dead: A New Frontier, but it's $10 by default in my region (as are the rest of the other TWD games), so no discount for me. Welp. I think they should've thought this $10 off/14.99 SRP discount scheme more thoroughly....
Same, also people are claiming that prices are being tweaked at every moment (in a good way, some games are using the whole 10 bucks discount on 15 bucks games to get their stuff even cheaper. Since Epic Games is taking the discount costs, I bet they don't mind at all, lol).
This just happened to me after 6 purchases. When I tried to buy Detroit.
Today wasn't the first time I bought games from Epic store, I ordered Div 2, Ashen, Observation, Control and Close to the Sun in the past. So it wasn't like my Epic account was inactive.
I think the egs version of Phoenix Point is DRM free so you only need egs for updates. Still no addressing the mod situation though.
its an issue with all versions unfortunately :/ Not sure if the console versions run any better than they did at launch though.
Guys, I am super tempted by this, what do?
For context, I am russian. EGS already has regional pricing for russia. But they didn't adjust the discount. Discount is still adds up to about 10 dollars. Which means that we get a comparatively higher discount.

Just let me buy Journey!!!
This is great though, they'll finally get some money out of me for something.

It's not as good as HR (and Detroit is better than both), but I would say you can't really go much wrong for 10 bucks. I loved it personally and it still looks great today
Thanks. Your theory is valid for those games which have revenue guarantees and have not met those guarantees, and we have no way of knowing how much of that 'already paid the devs for' revenue is relative to the amount of discounts Epic will be eating in this sale. Even if it applies to most of the games in the store, it's a plus for everyone: cheaper prices for consumers, more customers and more exposure for the developer at no revenue cost.
I don't really care lol. I understand that there are legitimate issues but games are games for me at the end of the day and I'll buy wherever I get the cheapest price.
I've used Epic store since Jan.
The empty account shows that this user didn't buy any epic exclusives that he was looking forward to and he also didn't redeem any of the free games that Epic has been offering. He refused to get free stuff based on principle. That is remarkable conviction.
I am sorry to see you gone, friend. Take care and be safe on your travels.
I know you did nothing wrong to deserve the following and very unfortunate post.
Buy every AAA game while it's cheap.
Drain Epic dry.
If they were offering AAA games for 15 CAD, I'd buy all of them, since Epic's compensating the devs for it.
Unfortunately, their discounts here are garbage, so there's little point in me doing that.
This is pretty rich after how PC Era in general treats anyone who says they don't mind the Epic Store - see above posts where somebody said they bought 6 things on the Epic Store and somebody else quoted it with "Thanks for ruining PC gaming".
Oh sweet, that Hades discount is great. I've been wanting to try that game.
Oh wait, there is no EGS client on Linux. There is not even a Linux version of Hades... even though all of Supergiant's other games have one. That's disappointing!
No problem, I can just use Steam Proton since it's amazing...oh wait, no I can't.
I've never really had any bones to pick with EGS until now. Not much to say other than this sucks and has essentially forced Supergiant to become a windows exclusive developer. Thanks Valve for at least caring about Linux gamers.

STOP BUYING GAMES YOU HAVE PRACTICE TO GO TO.
The imitation Stanley cup you bring to birthday parties won't lift itself.
I used to be up in arms about the EGS and the PC gaming Era but frankly PCgamingERA got wiped out a while back and I've given up on the EGS crusade, its isn't worth it. Also, continuing to pile on someone and justify that by pointing out that someone else's behavior, and then pointing out that they're part of the same era community.... Ok.

That's what I think about the EGS and their mega sale.
Yes, it is a free account, with a couple of free games that I added before the Metro Exodus fiasco started.
But that's what they want, people making accounts and getting used to their store.
I'm willing to use the EGS once they stop taking games hostage.

Epic seems happy to subsidize your purchase, so take advantage all you want and get all the games you want.
