Yeah, total non-surprise. I've got no idea why CD Keys ever thought they were going to get Steam keys.
Of course, I'm fully expecting the Steam version launching the Bethesda launcher anyway, making the discussion kinda academic, soo... :toucan:

Yeah I expected it would be Bethesda launcher but the region change was a bummer
Huh
Risk of Rain 2 has been among the Steam Top Sellers for over a month now
Forager released around Mid April, and even after 2 weeks it's been among the top sellers as well
It'd be nice to have some figures on # of copies each has sold so far.
BTW I dunno why that first game is listed twice, maybe because there are 2 regional versions of it?

New topic. So let's mention what I'm currently occupied with:
- Sea of Thieves
- Anno 1800
- Imperator: Rome
Next game will be WarGroove. Rest of the year seems quite quiet, only Warcraft 3 Reforged and Ori and the Will of the Wisps are must-have's for me.

Good for you, now can you PLEASE bundle all those DLCs so I can get them for cheap during Steam sale? I ain't nickle and diming shit...
That's one way to go I suppose. More likely, you better buy them on Steam while you can if that's where you want them. :p
You will be able to buy all of them on Epic Store XD
MS did right thing when they bought Minecraft by continue to support game on every platform even adding more. Epic probably won't do that and game will be removed from Steam by the end of this year, with no future content released on Steam.
Well there it is
So they're like People Can Fly and are now owned by Epic? Guess Epic read all of our 'Put your own games on EGS' and went in this direction instead of Unreal, Pinball, Jazz, etc
Me: Oh well as long as they dont remove it from Steam and allow crossplay between Steam and EGS it is not a bigge
Epic: Removed from Steam when it launches late 2019
Me: OK
Edit: will they keep updating the game in Steam? Cause otherwise that is an even bigger dick move.

Yeah I don't play it much. Shitty for fans and PC gaming as a whole
Epic is in war mode right now. They want people at their store badly.
Yeah, I think I'm gonna have to snap up whatever DLC I still want for Rocket League.
That is, assuming the DLC does go on sale again.

That ish better go for nore than 40% off. I should prob. Pester them on twitter about that.
Haha. This EGS shit is getting mental. I don't even play Rocket League but that is a crap move. Games that have been out for years aren't even safe anymore.
Interesting. It is not the usual exclusivity deal. It seems that the dev studio is joining Epic. So, what do we have now? Valve bought Campo Santo studio, Richard Garfield (who left shortly after the release of Artifact), and devs of Kerbal Space Program (who seem to have left Valve last year somehow). Epic bought Rocket League studio. Disallowing cross-store play would be crappy. I wonder whether Epic is going to snatch the KSP devs, or some other studios as well. Maybe they only care about e-sport.
I can't find any of them XD Where is JaseC when you need him :(
I just wonder if it is possible to sell DLCs on Steam ig main game is not available for purchase.
I'm thinking they'll support it for some months until 'technical limitations' will 'force' them to drop support.
Sorry, meant to say 'Like PCF used to be'. It's the only comparison my mind brought up. has Epic bought any other studios besides PCF and Psyonix?
Yes, I think there are some games like that, though it's rare since the usual delisting culprits (or rather, the usual culprits until now), the licenses, tend to apply to DLC as well.
dick move by Epic, but by elevating themselves to a publisher, they are now officially to be treated like EA, ActiBlizz and everyone else trying to make money for themselves.
Being a publisher essentially precludes you from pushing the "we're here to save gaming" narrative.
So in a way, this is a PR win for us Epic detractors, since Epic officially shed their plucky underdog status.

Yeah i saw thet you can buy Anno 1800 Season Pass for example. But question is will Epic allow them to put DLCs and MTX on Steam anymore.
This is also another good example of Epic being assholes just because they can. Buying a studio is a better use of their cash than BS timed exclusives. But, then they had to be dicks and remove the game ( that has been out for years and has a well established / large community ) from Steam. Just earn some goodwill and keep Rocket League going how it is. Then when the next game is exclusive to EGS nobody would complain. MS gave them the blueprint for this with Minecraft.
