YOU HAVE TO BE FRIKKING KIDDING ME

First all the Epic thing and now this?

 

[SweetNicole]

Bethesda on Steam is basically dead at this point, it seems.

 

[abracadaver]

I would buy it on Steam

Pass for me

 

[Linus815]

guess I'm skipping rage 2 too, then!

 

[JD3Nine]

I think it will probably hit Steam at a later date. Either way I'm gonna pass. I wouldn't use Bethesda's launcher after everything that has happened the past few weeks.

 

[Pitou]

Oh well, money saved.

 

[zombiejames]

I see the Bethesda Launcher as refund protection for them, and that's it. Not a good sign for any game they put on there.

 

[Dyle]

Welp, there goes what little interest I had in it.

 

[SuikerBrood]

Steam didn't have a great night yesterday.

 

[Shepherd]

Not a good look for valve...

 

[Deleted member 437]

That new Steam initative is probably gonna do jack shit.

Bethesda joins EA, they are both 100% out.

 

[Derrick01]

I can't handle all of this positive competition for consumers.

This went from a buy on PC to maybe a redbox/gamefly rental on console now. Congrats Bethesda you played yourself.

 

[R.T Straker]

Yet another one off my list.

Heh.

 

[Tremorah]

Well, thats that then, damn shame that they have such troubles with their launcher and service

 

[Deleted member 198]

And so the tradition of recent Beteshda games underperforming continues.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Its good that there is competition

 

[iiicon]

Unsatisfied with low sales of other Bethesda single player games, Bethesda aims even lower. Interesting strategy.

 

[digitalrelic]

Between this and the Epic news, I think that we're starting to see the beginning of the end of Steam's absolute dominance on PC. Of course Steam will always be a central platform in PC gaming, but it's just not the one stop shop it used to be and I think developers will continue to move in other directions away from it.

 

[Nappuccino]

I guess they don't like money?

 

[Remark]

Industry really wants Steam out huh?

 

[Sou Da]

RIP

 

[Rodjer]

DOOM Eternal, Starfield and TES6 exclusively on Bethesda Launcher.

Coming Soon.

 

[OnionPowder]

Skipping it then.

I would even buy it on Epics store, but i'm not gonna trust Bethesda to handle my private information tyvm.

 

[Silky]

Don't do this to Arkane

Please don't

God don't punish them

 

[Mullet2000]

Just wait for when Elder Scrolls 6 is announced as exclusive to Bethesda Launcher.

 

[Deleted member 22480]

Meh, guess i'm skipping it then.

 

[Isee]

So, doom eternal too?

 

[lucebuce]

 

[LewieP]

Makes sense, Bethesda probably don't want to have to worry with being forced to comply with another store's refund policies.

 

[Sou Da]

DOOM Eternal

This will be the tipping point to get people on.

 

[R dott B]

Storefront wars

The new killer app.

 

[MatrixMan.exe]

Can't hold all of these launchers bro.

 

[r3n4ud]

Oh man lol. Good luck with that Bethesda.

 

[KiLAM]

Lmao..went from maybe to never

Bethesda is the publisher in this case. It's frustrating but not the same.

 

[FeArTriX]

I will skip it then.

 

[Ganado]

Thanks but no thanks. However, I wouldn't buy it on Steam for more than 20 euros anyway due to the game not looking like my cup of tea so nothing lost from me?

 

[Necromanti]

Given Bethesda's recent fuck-ups, there's absolutely no way I'd trust them with any private data.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Well I guess Doom Eternal is a goner as well.

 

[BaconHat]

Well, that's a way of making sure i never buy the game.
Thanks for the help Rage 2.

 

[Dest]

Cool, no buy then. Good job Bethesda/Zenimax.

Well I guess Doom Eternal is a goner as well.

Click to shrink...

Shit.

 

[Calibro]

Rage 2 doesn't look interesting to me, but I swear to god... no Doom Eternal on Steam means war.

 

[Pryme]

The 'no Steam no buy' movement is one of the cringiest in gaming.

 

[DigSCCP]

The Beginningof the End.

 

[DOT_mjo]

Sheesh, this makes it a lot easier to pass up until a huge sale.

 

[SHAQ]

Fuck, I was gonna buy that too.

 

[Detective Loki]

Will it work?

 

[Deleted member 21858]

Not on Steam, no buy
