You are charged at the point of purchase.
And yes, they are pieces of shit for accepting such a moneyhat and Epic is a piece of shit for offering it.
So, what about retail copies?
Makes sense. I'm sure the physical copies are in printing already.
Fuck off.
Hope cdkeys will still be able to provide me a Steam key since they aren't official resellers. Will cancel my preorder if not.

Won't play a game that's cheaper just because it's not on steam ?
Yup. It's the first time Valve has actually publicly criticized Epic's practices of "winning" over the consumers.
It's a good statement. It is bullcrap and you know the same would have been said if the roles were reversed.
This is likely the case for EVERY SINGLE EPIC EXCLUSIVE. It's just that some developers aren't talking about it.
Pretty weird way to put the fact that they will get 18 percent more revenue for the first 50 million so...an additional 9 million dollars. And these are a smaller dev in a smaller cheaper country. Not so bad.
My stance on this really. I see no reason to pick Epic store over Steam as of right now. So their loss. Annoying practice by Epic and co.
I'll be curious if this bet seriously pays off. Getting a bigger cut means jack if you don't actually have the sales.
read and pay attention you can play it on steam if you already pre-ordered it lol
Seeing as it's already announced to be a 1 year Epic Store exclusive, the "lower cut" excuse is bullshit.
They merely got a nice money bag from Epic to keep it away from Steam.
I just pre-ordered on Steam right now after reading this before they take it down. I'm not playing this game on Epic Games Store.
Damn.
Valve is going to have to respond to this at some point though they probably make enough money from the shovel-ware garbage infesting Steam, trading cards and CS:GO/TF2 markets to not worry about it for a while.
Glad to see competition even though one part of me would just rather have all my games on Steam.

Pretty nice that they're honoring steam pre-orders.
Passing on savings to customers is also pretty excellent. The publisher/developer being able to issue greater discounts whenever they want should be a pretty nice bonus in the future

lol this is another case of a money hat for a year of exclusivity.
User Banned (3 days): advocating piracy
And I had it pre ordered on cdkeys.....will check with them if they're gonna provide a steam key, if not, I'm gonna go back to pirating every single game that comes out exclusively on the Epic Store.
