I'm legit concerned my Shenmue 3 "Steam Physical Disc" I pre-ordered on Kickstarter might turn into a Shenmue 3 "Epic's Game Store Physical Disc" at any point before release, since Deep Silver is publishing that game too. This sucks. Like, a lot.
What the actual fuck are you talking about.
Metro Exodus Steam Page Notice:
Please point me to one (1) person who has been shitting on Uplay, Origin, GoG, or Blizzard in this thread. If you do it, I'll have the Epic Game Store logo as my avatar for a week.
Metro 2033 Redux and Last Light Redux will be on Epic Store as well.
Do you not see the hostility towards anyone that is ok with EGS as a competing store front in this thread?
The other store fronts mentioned were just to acknowledge that EGS is not the only rogue store front. Many exist with their own exclusives.
I havent read anything about them not getting paid for their work or their work getting scrapped, so what's the issue here? A4 doesnt own the IP...
How many of these are monehatting publishers? How many of these are ACTUALLY killing competition by not allowing a market of cheap keys to exist?
The "hostility" is not against another storefront existing. The hostility is against the abundance of ignorant (self-admittedly in your case) opinions to prop up factual anti-consumer moves.
Do you not see that the Epic Game Store is very different to GOG and co in nearly every way?
I'd like to think A4 would like people to actually play their game they've devoted time, effort and passion on. Their sales are gonna be garbage on PC now from this point forward, aside from the impulse Steam pre-orders. Less people will play the game.
Then that sorts the money hatting problem? If it isn't profitable then they have no incentive to do it.
I can understand if ppl have issue with the exclusivity but all this sympathizing for the devs is just extra. They agreed to port the game onto a platform and that's what they're doing.
Don't buy the games then? I don't see anyone taking issue to not buying the game. Just a whole lot of people angry at people who are buying the game.
oh please, the amount of assholes here defending epic and their money hatting, talk about hostility. jesus.
Well since it was a reply to a reply to my post. I took it as tho you were discounting my criticisms as just a "grudge" against valve. All I've stated in this thread is I'm going to buy this game, that I don't mind the competition. That I was unhappy with curation, and that steam sales are not as good as they used to be. That's where everything turned around. I've been using steam since 2007 and it's pretty much my primary platform. So there isn't a grudge at all.
People are rightfully upset that a game was pulled from Steam in the flash of a minute and thrown on another (worse) storefront because Epic paid for it. I don't trust Epic and I truly hate having more launchers on my computer. I was interested in Metro Exodus but now with this news, I'll pass on it. I don't support toxic moneyhatting deals. If Epic wants to get exclusives, they can make them like Valve did. Why not fund some of that Fortnite money into UT or a new property?
It's completely fine that you'll use the Epic Store for this game and don't care. I personally don't much care for the Steam store and would love Epic to have a successful platform I could use as an alternative. However, straight up making a game that people had already ordered on another platform exclusive to your own at the last minute is a dick move.
The developer and publisher have assured us that all prior sales of the game on Steam will be fulfilled on Steam, and Steam owners will be able to access the game and any future updates or DLC through Steam.
Tell that to the "actual buyers" that used one of the several other storefront options to purchase a key. A benefit that the Epic store doesn't have and actively takes choice away (and better prices than the current offering) from consumers.
Yeah, it's always sad when the PC version of a game gets delayed :(
Discontinuing preorders seemingly arbitrarily made today the last day you could preorder for Steam. I'm sort of stumbling around my own point, but it's more of expectations. The Epic store's poor implementation of regional pricing (from anecdotes on this website) means that the exclusivity causes the game to become prohibitively expensive in some regions. Maybe someone was planning on preordering tomorrow and randomly can't? Suddenly it's too much for them to justify. If you're gonna pay for a game, at least have the decency to make if far enough in advance to not let people think they can get it in one place and take it away without warning. It's like feeling "loss" vs never having it at all
Same. Origin, Uplay, GoG Galaxy and Battle.net are installed on my PC. I prefer Steam when available but I have no problem using these. I won't touch Epic's store, tho. I don't even play Fortnite so it won't touch my PC. I uninstalled it back when they moneyhatted some other game and never looked back.
I don't even see a retailer listed for PC physical on their website.
I know Amazon Spain was selling the physical version a few hours ago. As to whether it'll have a Steam or a EGS key and to whether a Spain code works in your country... no idea.
