Dmitriy Glukhovsky's statement about Deep Silver's Epic Store move.

I feel sorry for Glukhovsky and 4A. I understand what he says, Deep Silver put the money on the table and it's their choice on how they want to recoup the money spent. What I don't understand is the talk about betrayal. Players who refuse to buy Metro at EGS aren't betraying anyone, they simply don't want to be treated like shit. Unfortunately for the devs the most effective way to show Deep Silver/THQ that customers don't support practices that are harmful for us is to not spend the money on the game in question. At the end of a day they already received financial incentive from Epic, so, what's the problem again?
Nothing especially interesting. Mostly either "we are loyal fans and we will buy it anywhere", "EGS sucks" or "I'll buy it on console" comments plus pissing contests between commenters.I 'm curious what the responses are. Anyone speaking Russian here?

Haha thanks 😊
I can only hope the first group is a minority. If pc gamers accept Epic's moneyhatting and buy this game on EGS anyway, this may have a significant impact on the future of pc gaming.
Yeah, consider me skeptical on most traffic coming from the Epic Store.
The publisher has clearly made some questionable decisions regarding the release of this game, but I still feel like people are way overreacting to all of this. I don't know, maybe there's something here I'm missing.
Just read that statement from the author about how he hopes fans don't "betray" them over the Steam fiasco. What kind of bullshit is that? We are customers and no company is entitled to our business, for whatever reason. Shit like that makes me want to buy the game LESS just on principle, regardless of everything else that has gone on :/
I won't betray them as I will still purchase the game just not day one. I can wait a year easily.

I believe the betryal comment is in relation to pirating the game.
So, just pulling the game out of Steam wasn't enough for Deep Silver, and now they even made a pre-load exclusive to EGS?
Seriously, what are these dumbasses trying to achieve with this shitstorm?
You also won't betray them because the notion of loyalty shouldn't be a thing between a consumer and a product to the extent that it's considered a betrayal if you don't buy/delay purchasing said product :P You're not morally bound to buy anything.
There is something yes.The publisher has clearly made some questionable decisions regarding the release of this game, but I still feel like people are way overreacting to all of this. I don't know, maybe there's something here I'm missing.
Is this a PC pre-load issue? Why would downloading the full game before launch be slower than downloading the game at launch?
It's a Steam issue. The unlocking process can take a long time.Is this a PC pre-load issue? Why would downloading the full game before launch be slower than downloading the game at launch?

Interesting to watch all this play out
Laughing at all the animosity towards them when they are even dropping the base game price. Oh no a developer wants more money!

im still not sure why decrpyting always takes so long
is my cpu old or something
It takes long even on modern state hardware. It's prolly just Steam more then anything else.
I don't know how Origin or Uplay does it, but last time I pre-loaded a game was GTA V and that was the first and last time I used it.
It took like 2 and a half hours on a SSD with a 3770k back then. Could have downloaded the whole thing in just 1 hour and a bit.
Definitely doesn't take that long anymore. For me, it's typically 15-20 minutes.
Yeah that happened to me too. I'm never preloading on PC again. I can just download the game in like 30 minutes insteadI don't know.
My friends told me that it also took forever for XV to decrypt and they would have been better off just downloading it.

My preload of BF5 immediately switched to playable after I booted my PC on release. Pretty sure UWP games are the same. Steams approach is just ancient.It takes long even on modern state hardware. It's prolly just Steam more then anything else.

Is this real that EGS does not have cloud saves?
This bit bothers me because some games take me a year to finish and a lot can go wrong in that time.
At this point, it honestly feels like someone in the boardroom wants to sabotage this release as much as possible.So, just pulling the game out of Steam wasn't enough for Deep Silver, and now they even made a pre-load exclusive to EGS?

Cant wait for the inevitable "build your own internet provider company" response.Well, no.
Many regions have shitty internet connections. There are sometimes huge difference in cities. Independent of how well developed your country is.
My previous apartment had 16mbit/s max. I moved 10km and am now in 450mbit heaven.

Oh, hello Adam Orth, how has life been treating ya?
Decrpyting the preload takes longer then downloading the actual thing if you've got good internet.
Pre-load is mainly there for people with slow internet who'd like to play the game day 1.
Based on a comment above, it seems like this is a steam specific issue? If so, steam really needs to improve it so that it instantly unlocks like on other platforms.Well I live in a country with decent infrastructure so preloading isn't useful for me.
It's mainly for people with really slow internet.

I wouldn't be shocked if Steam version patches aren't day and date with the EGS version either.
