BL3 will probably be the first non-timed EGS exclusive.Plus Galyonkin retweeting one of Randy's tweets teasing BL3. It's happening, y'all.
With non-exclusivity, people that need regional pricing would've got it on Steam and people in EU and US would've gotten it even cheaper thanks to 3rd party stores.Metro did sell $10 less and because of Epic's reach the game ended up being cheaper in way more countries. It still is the rare exception but stop saying it never happened. Your argument is good enough to say it's so rare it's not worth holding out hope for.
You missed the thread that popped up a week later. Epic started offering regional pricing on Metro and it relatively matched the price drop the US version got.
Sure, ban me because I don't understand boycotting a game you want to play because of the launcher….
It is 9:22 AM
Do you know where my caffeine is
It almost assuredly went up too early, probably for tomorrow
#steamcamp however the first one happened to Steam too, albeit very briefly.The launcher that leaked private information?
The launcher that accessed your personal files on your HDD without your permission?
The launcher Chinese cant even start because Epic locks Chinese IPs.
The launcher that forbids outside key sales?
The launcher that wont let you play games on Linux?
The launcher that wont let you use whatever controller you want?

Galyonkin also retweeted a Vampire the Masquerade ARG tweet and we know that's coming to Gog too, so that doesn't mean anything.Plus Galyonkin retweeting one of Randy's tweets teasing BL3. It's happening, y'all.
Yup, 11:30-12:30 pst.
Probably too early to start drinking, I'm sorry to say.
Hey, maybe Epic shocks us all and unveils some cool feature that we'd all want, like game trading or timed demos of all products on the store?
(doubtful)
I'm afraid they used it to pick up the most searched and highest-numbered products on the steam wish list.The launcher that leaked private information?

Regional pricing that were still higher than buying from third party stores, which can't sell if the game is on epic stores
that's not the sameSure, if you're also fine with banning all "fuck epic" posters. Because those are also the same comments in every thread.
Leaked image of moderator BronsonLee by the end of this weekend:
That's more an issue with digital purchases in general. I lost P.T on Sony store and Alan Wake briefly on Steam. It's definitely a long term concern that needs solving eventually.
lowest Darksiders 3 key according to Isthereanydeal at that time was $47
Epic?
Announcing brand new features that would improve their store for consumers?
Doubtful indeed.
We knew Metro was coming to Steam 2 weeks before release too then Epic happened.Galyonkin also retweeted a Vampire the Masquerade ARG tweet and we know that's coming to Gog too, so that doesn't mean anything.

I bought Metro for $20 thanks to regional pricing form EpicMetro did sell $10 less and because of Epic's reach the game ended up being cheaper in way more countries.

and how did you happen to lose alan wake on steam praytellThat's more an issue with digital purchases in general. I lost P.T on Sony store and Alan Wake briefly on Steam. It's definitely a long term concern that needs solving eventually.
Motherfucker you're probably right and I hate it.I'm afraid they used it to pick up the most searched and highest-numbered products on the steam wish list.
No it's a fact that Epic is offering regional pricing in countries Valve never touched. Epic is better than Valve on this front.With non-exclusivity, people that need regional pricing would've got it on Steam and people in EU and US would've gotten it even cheaper thanks to 3rd party stores.
this can create a big problem, commercial espionage
Gog itself is teasing the game so that would be a really dick moveWe knew Metro was coming to Steam 2 weeks before release too then Epic happened.
Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me.
This was my first thought as well when I heard of the initial data mining.I'm afraid they used it to pick up the most searched and highest-numbered products on the steam wish list.
Yeah, and it makes sense with the data they were pulling too... Now of course you could pull this by just scanning peoples profiles through the Steam web portal I suppose, but I guess just pulling that information out of those files is a bit easier, innit it.

The catch is that the discount is limited to sporadic sales so it would only help the savviest more determined bargain hunters.
There's still countries that have regional pricing on both Steam and Epic, who did not get any kind of discount for Metro. The whole continent of Europe is a good example. It was €60 on Steam, it's €60 on Epic now, and the UK didn't get any discount either.No it's a fact that Epic is offering regional pricing in countries Valve never touched. Epic is better than Valve on this front.
You are sort of right that by offering it in multiple stores the game would've been cheaper for us Americans and Europeans.
The catch is that the discount is limited to sporadic sales so it would only help the savviest more determined bargain hunters. Metro's Epic MSRP otoh ensures that everyone enjoys a discount and in aggregate this makes the game cheaper for consumers as a group instead of only the most proactive consumers.
Let's not get too caught up in trying to prop up Metro as a bastion for Epic offering cheaper games though. It's the only game to really offer that benefit so while we can't say it never happened it's not worth it to claim there is any reasonable chance of price reductions for other Epic timed exclusives.
I am on mobile so posted it quickly; i meant that outer worlds was the only one named ^^;
