I just got an email from Epic about Division 2. Not ever had one from them before. Turns out i have an account from when they gave away Shadow Complex but haven't logged into it for at least a year or two. Dont know why they would now just start sending me emails? I never subscribed to receive marketing stuff.
Could imagine them trying to use some loophole or something. Also want people that use UE4 knowing that they're selling games now.
So you want to delete your account, huh? Don't you want to play The division 2 and other hot games coming out exclusively on the fresh new Epic Game Store, the saviour of
It is unfortunate that you desire to close your account on our service.
Are you aware that you can get TWO free games every month if you decide to keep it?
Having an account also gives you FREE ACCESS to the #1 game in the world Fortnite!

Talking about The Division 2. When they shared their timeline for EGS, they actually showed why The Divsion 2 in game microtransactions only give money to uPlay. They do not have EGS overlay so they are not able to make money out of them (yet).
What were they doing the last three years with their launcher if the store has been in the planning for years apparently? And what would've been their plan if Fortnite Battle Royal wouldn't have taken off so they can buy their way into the market? Everything about this store seems amateurish and I'm supposed to use "just another free client" and trust them with payment info and my private data.
You're welcome!
Edit.: Read the Eurogamer article about the data accusations. Why does every news about the Epic Game Store contain a dig at "disgruntled hardcore PC gamers that got their jimmies rustled by Epic"? Like, what the fuck? There is nothing gained by including this.

capcom pls
Altered Beast x Viewtiful Joe happening any day now.
It keeps their narrative consistent and allows them to marginalize legitimate concerns as just another complaint from "that small group of steam diehards"
Also, by making Steam seem like some kind of a cult, they are reinforcing their perception that Steam is a bad, it's a monopoly, etc.
Crikey you weren't wrong about the sense of scale and impact in VR. I just got to the bit at the start before the bridge door where Senua comes right up to your face and looks you right in the eyes.
Also I like how her head kind of follows what you are looking at, nice touch.
I can only play VR for an hour or two before i get a bit of a head ache so will continue this game later but it is pretty impressive.
Wow

"Despite Epic's attempt to clear up how the Epic Games store actually works, user scrutiny and scepticism doesn't look like it's going anywhere. There appears to be a groundswell of discontent at the company's attempt to disrupt Valve's control over the PC gaming market, and a pushback on the drive for Epic Games store exclusives from the hardcore PC gaming community"

Wow. So racist.
I think it's about Tencent being Chinese? But I honestly don't know. Such an awful take.
Unsurprisingly, we still have people arguing that money isn't influencing the media when it comes to Epic. What's it gonna take?
Thanks, but also no E-Mail arriving. I guess I just wait a day or so.
None, apparently. Kotaku didn't report yet, but expect the classy "hyper toxic pro consumer" shit.
I thought there's another news on Fell Seal. But yeah, they a few days ago that big news is coming. Most probably full release date.
Oh no, if it's like me you'll wait months for the email to arrive :/
When I used the one time password I received the email right away though.
Not ban them but we could start using archive.org to link to them, so they don't get clicks
like this

This is one of the issues that arises when the media has to rely on commercial relationships with the same companies they are meant to report on, especially in an industry where access and ad space play such a big role.

Yeah it's getting worse each day. I don't even wanna know what they are going to write when people are raging against the bunch of EGS exclusives announced at E3.
I think GI.biz is still held in high regard. It's more a trade publication than a general news site, though.
I always play with a continuous camera and no snap turning in vr since I find it so immersion breaking and Hellblade was the first game to give me real motion sickness so definitely a good idea to take breaks. Do get used to it tho or at least I did as I went from playing 30 minutes to a 2 hour session.
And absolutely unbelievable on RPS part, this goes beyond ignorance at this point and into very sketchy territory.
