Legitimate buyers of FF7R can not play the game currently as Epic Services are down
- Thread starter Chairmanchuck (另一个我)
- Start date
Fuck needing online servers to play offline games. This has been proven to only impact legitimate buyers over and over again.
You are completely missing the point.Once again, AWS is having problems, and once again, Era pounces on EGS as if that's the only site affected.

Amazon’s AWS logs third outage this month, affecting Slack, Epic Games Store, Asana and more
Hours later, Amazon is still working on a full restorationwww.theverge.com
Why are you pouncing to defend EGS?

I can also dunk on S-E making it a requirement that EGS is running.
The title still is true. Legitimate buyers currently cant play it, as the services are down.

There should be an offline mode for single player games.Once again, AWS is having problems, and once again, Era pounces on EGS as if that's the only site affected.

Oh man, what a cool launcher. Can't play my offline single players game that one purchases if the launcher is down but hey, what gets me through the day is those publishers getting that 88%.
To the people saying "AWS is down". Who the hell thought having your library tied to the servers being up was a good idea ?

'the point' is twenty miles above your head.
LOL @ the people giving web outages as an excuse. Should not matter at all for a game like this, or for EGS for that matter. If the game is already installed, it should be playable no matter what.
you know.. there has been a lot of negative comments on this PC port. and personally? i've been enjoying it so much and haven't had any problems.
until my internet went out yesterday and i wanted to just game final fantasy 7 but literally couldn't.
shit like this is why the xbone had such a bad launch because they were going to force gamers to always be online to game. how is this still a thing?

It's a terrible port anyway - so we're locking a game down behind DRM and a variety of online checks to prevent piracy - but who would buy a product that isn't working as it should? Seems like we've got our priorities backwards here.
Nobody's saying it's the only service affected. People are saying it's pretty damn lame that you have to be connected online in order to play a single player RPG, which is a problem with Epic.Once again, AWS is having problems, and once again, Era pounces on EGS as if that's the only site affected.

Once again, a needless defense of a billion dollar corporation.
Why can't this single-player RPG be played offline?
Imagine if this happened on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch or Steam.
The backlash that Microsoft got for planning similar with Xbox One was justified, and I'm super glad they saw sense.
This really isn't defensible.
DRM is such anti-player bullshit. Could boot this game up on a PS4 or PS5 right now entirely offline and it would be just fine. But since SE refuses to allow a non-DRM version of any of their games on PC. We all get punished when the DRM service goes down.
It's been sort of the user's thing whenever this topic comes up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Where are the usual suspects who say this? Weird how they are missing from this thread. 🤔
Ah, classic Era moment when it comes to EGS.
I'm convinced people use the term 'to be fair' just to add their own opinion. It's usually never fair nor about balancing the topic.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if it was an always online DRM in the game then why does the cracked version not do this?
tbf, I just checked this and launched Hitman 3 from its folder and it does actually work
Which is kinda ironic, considering it has a baked in online check
So I guess it is special dispensation for Square games?
EDIT Disregard all of this, the launcher is back up so that is why it works 🤣
They have offline mode. Just can't use it to play most of games.
It's because of Epic's EOS. So it also affect some EOS games on Steam, because that's how it should be.
I will have you know that the real offender of this is "I just think it's funny". Because I will have you know when I hear or read that phrase, I know imma be waiting for a joke that's never coming
