I imagine you're not in Europe.Game's showing up as $39.99 for me on Epic https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/metro-exodus/home#
Ah yes, the fact that I used an expression you aren't familiar with turns me into an alt-right "gamers rise up" kinda guy.What the hell is moneyhatting? Some new gamersriseup buzzphrase?
Funny seeing PC gamer's getting upset, saying they're skipping it now.
Meanwhile i'll enjoy this on my console where my huge library of games are in one place
OK, then sell Steam keys on their own website for 100% of the profit then?
Weird how on this open platform only one store is buying exclusives so that they don't release on any other store on PC other than their own.Weird that the PC is supposed to be such a 'open platform' yet people are so angry that more than one gaming store exists on it.

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.
Don't you love Reaganomics? Do you feel those saving trickling down your body?Literally wheezed at "passing savings to PC gamers"
Yeah, soon we won't be able to buy 40~45$ Steam keys from cdkeys, Instant Gaming, etc, and we'll instead have to buy the game for $50 on Epic's Store. Thanks for passing these savings to me guys! Really appreciate it.
Cheaper? Must be a fucking joke. Standard edition is £49.99 both on Steam and Epic store. Also Gold edition is £69.99 on both stores.
Goddamn this a dumb fucking postWeird that the PC is supposed to be such a 'open platform' yet people are so angry that more than one gaming store exists on it.
Holy shit the Gold Edition is actually MORE expensive than Steam in the EU
SO GENEROUS
Paying developers for exclusivity is competition.I get that Epic's platform doesn't have the features Steam does, but competition has to start somewhere, right?
You're not very bright.Weird that the PC is supposed to be such a 'open platform' yet people are so angry that more than one gaming store exists on it.
Here comes the salt, doo do doo doo.
Here comes the salt, and I say.
It's all right.
But in all seriousness, why are people so angry about some devs moving to Epic Launcher instead of Steam? It's just a launcher. Just download it. I don't get it. And in this case, it's making things cheaper. Is all the "features" that steam has over Epic Launcher (which they'll probably eventually add in the future, mind you) REALLY worth that extra 10$?
holy fuck I don't understand why it bothers people so much to have to download another launcher. Hell, they are even giving us a discount!

LMFAO. what an infantile comment. Steam is way more than just steam achivements. Its big picture mode, its forums, its user reviews, its refunds, its taking screenshots, live streaming, wathcing braodcasts, having a plyer profile, a personality inside a community, a workign market where you can win money, and lots lots more. You may not care about those features, but in reality, lets be honest, i know you have pressed that f12 button to take a screenshot, so your argument is not only childish but weak.I don't get why people are angry. Oh no you don't get steam achievements, who cares. Epic Games seems to be a better storefront anyway.
No family sharingI have no idea what this backlash is for. I could understand it's a bit annoying to have yet another launcher for games, but overall it's a minor inconvenience.
I'm willing to be educated on what makes the EGS so vilified, but until then this thread reads like it's full of Gamers being Gamers (read: aggressive and angry)
Can one of the people saying "no steam, no buy" actually explain why?
I get the Epic store may not be the best. It isn't, but at the end of the day, I sign in, hit launch, and play the game. The system that launches that game is of small importance to my overall enjoyment.
Epic is slowly winning. If they can keep this up for another 2 to 5 AAA titles, they gain a massive player base from steam.
Who cares about features?I have yet to see any argument why people get mad. Who cares about any of the steam features? You just need a place to buy the games, that's all steam really needs to do. I also don't care about a store front buying exclusivity.

It's going to be amazing when ResetEra's PC gaming community quits playing AAA games altogether at this rate.
It's amazing to see how much Epic is pushing against Steam early on. Who knows how long it will last or if the publishers will see higher profits overall from these decisions but it's an interesting thing to watch play out in real time.
Because they have to open and install another launcher.

How to miss the point 101Weird that the PC is supposed to be such a 'open platform' yet people are so angry that more than one gaming store exists on it.
Haha wow, just checked my account and apparently it's set to Philippines for some reason. I guess because I've only downloaded free games it hasn't mattered
Nothing says "better storefront" like "doesn't even have a fucking search feature", but sure.I don't get why people are angry. Oh no you don't get steam achievements, who cares. Epic Games seems to be a better storefront anyway.
Can anyone explain why so many are agaisnt this kind of stuff on the Epic Store ?
Nobody gets mad at the existence of Itch, GOG, or other storefronts not being actively fucking toxic to the health of the platform. What Epic are doing is the complete antithesis of what an open platform should be about: the creation of arbitrary walls.Weird that the PC is supposed to be such a 'open platform' yet people are so angry that more than one gaming store exists on it.
Educate yourself.I have no idea what this backlash is for. I could understand it's a bit annoying to have yet another launcher for games, but overall it's a minor inconvenience.

I'm sorry 4A but this one is now a skip because of this.
Fucking shame.
Another game off the list
Thanks for making my choices easier 4A
?
Competition is to remove products sold from other stores? Jeez, I should have known.I get that Epic's platform doesn't have the features Steam does, but competition has to start somewhere, right?

I'm in Europe and I only pay more than what's shown when choosing to pay with PaySafe Card.So instead of a discount people in Europe actually pay more now
THANKS COMPETITION
lmao
