Nah I'm good. See you in a year maybe.You'll have to install EGS if you wanna buy Ooblets on PC. I know that's asking a lot but I believe in you and your ability to download a free thing and create a user account (if you haven't already done so to play Fortnite which I KNOW YOU HAVE).
This attempt at defending Epic's "pay to remove options for consumers" strategy, is a dismissive failure. In this case it's also someone who took the moneybag, so like...might as well be Epic posting this.
I completely understand why companies take the deal, but doing so and then admonishing people for not ignoring the negative impact this has on them and instead being excited about the company getting a bunch of money, is weird and offputting. Doesn't exactly endear me to the idea of supporting you.
I'd previously put Ooblets in my top 10 because it looked quite jolly, which I've been properly in the mood for, along with Wattam and Untitled Goose Game. And The Good Life, which thanks to Epic x Shenmue 3 will be the last game I ever crowdfund. But now this episode has tainted Ooblets a bit, with its distinct unjollyness.
This kerfuffle is not something that would stop me from buying Ooblets when it's available elsewhere, but it's just...ugh, you know? Like they didn't read the staff post.
