If I can't get a refund i'll go with this as my last resort. Before anything else I don't think they deserve the money anymore

Hey thank you, when did the email go out for the survey? i can't find it.
Same with me, which is why I posted that, but apparently they can't read.
It still doesnt show its a permanent exclusive. Its not worded like that.
Ok, now I'm mad. I'm going to see if I can get a refund, or at least get my PC copy swapped to a PS4 version. They promised us Steam keys when we pre-ordered the PC version.

If after all this time you still can't put your finger on the fact that people don't want to pay the same for less then maybe it's you who has the problem?
When people put their money down on KS, Steam was not mentioned nor promised -- that came after -- so where you do you draw the line?
I'm assuming that when the Fangamer emails came in, those who didn't want Steam asked for a refund or swapped to PS4? That's what I'd be doing if I didn't want EGS.

I am so disappointed with Deep Silver. I backed on PS4 but that isn't the point. Steam backers should get Steam codes or a refund.
I hope it was worth burning the good will in a time when Shenmue was fighting a bit of an uphill battle publicly, possibly hurting chances of Shenmue IV.
Drive-by comments like "The game looked shit anyway lol" is a bit petty though.
I wonder if Yu Suzuki had any idea the decision would have this reaction.

It literally says Metro Exodus sold less on PC than consoles combined.
It of course would be normal but Metro 2033 and Last Light were PC dominant (especially on Eastern Europe where series are popular).
I will leave mine on Steam because it's Steam or my money back to me.
I think EGS doesn't work as well as Steam on non-windows machines?
So if you kickstarted it to get a steam version I guess there is a possibility you won't be able to play it depending on the setup. In that case, you absolutely have a reason to be annoyed
Someone who is angry about this should explain it
GfWL was bad because low budget / microsoft didn't care. Epic is bad by design.
I haven't seen any updates that the duration is different from other exclusive titles, and "not coming to Steam" describes the change for how the game is launching. I'm not saying it's impossible, but are there specifics that this is different from other titles subject to the deal?
We're way too deep in this topic and this topic has been treaded way too many times for people to come in acting clueless about people's issue here. If you don't get it, google it, check reddit or read the thread. No one should have to explain this again.
An Epic Game Store exclusive? WTF?
Deep Silver are going to wind up losing a lot of money for not bringing it to Steam.

I know. It's just that the thread title is most likely fooling everyone. I don't see this not being released on Steam in a year.
I don't want to support EGS and their shitty business tactics. I don't even want their launcher installed.
I would also rather not support developers who lie to me.
I don't get the level of anger there seems to be about EGS or what they are even doing to the extent other people do because I don't play on pc
But people were promised it would release on steam and fans of the game who waited 17 years for this game and paid sometimes hundreds or even thousands of dollars to make it happen should be give what they were promised
This game wouldn't exist without the fans and they made a dumb and selfish decision here. If fans wanted one and paid for Steam I don't think we have to get it, but DS and the Shenmue devs should. The fans don't deserve this after making this game possible.
I don´t even want a steam key anymore if they were to still give them to backers only. Want my money. Don´t want any involement in any way shape or form with epic.
Fuck epic. Fuck Deep Silver. Fuck Ys.
Fuck epic. Fuck Deep Silver. Fuck Ys.
Except the thing here is different. We backed a game but then they had Fangamer taking ORDERS. This qualify as a sale.
No, you see, the Epic Games Store would be the best distribution platform option for the most enjoyable experience on PC.
People care more about getting what they paid for. They selected steam keys and absolutely have a reason to be pissed.
People care about getting what they were promised. Real fucked up priorities. Go away troll
I'm not sure a court would see this as actionable. They haven't defrauded people out of money, the game can still be played on their PCs, just with different window dressing and friend lists, with the exception being for regions/countries where the EGS is not available (those people would certainly deserve a refund). I can get not liking the EGS, but acting like it (or the WIndows Store) are walled gardens is not going to fly.
This situation is being handled with the same love and care as Shenmue 3's facial animations.
I wonder if that was even necessary or it was bound by the contract. Because lmao.
Of course the dude who shows up just to concern troll has his priorities straight tho
I had it on my wishlist. First EGS exclusivity I'm burned from. I'm skipping it. I'd rather Epic moneyhat me, not the publishers.
At which point are these drive-bys reportable? These comments can be found in every single thread and they add absolutely nothing to the topic. Furthermore they make angry people even more angry.
"Help us create a sequel to this classic that you guys have waiting on for years!"
After all is said and done...
"Oh hey by the way fuck yall these cats gave us money, get it from their shady ass store or fuck off. Thanks for the help, suckers!"
Sketch as fuck the whole way around imo.

I don't get it.*Epic gets another exclusive*
Meanwhile at Valve offices:
Oh interesting. I actually forgot that Deep Silver is publishing this game. Now, I have to ask, how much is Deep Silver taking per unit sold? For some reason, I was under a strange assumption that Shenmue III was self published. Which in my mind, made this a good deal for Yu Suzuki. But it may very well still be a good deal for them? I'm not sure now.
Fortnite and the Epic Game Client is getting pretty big in size. I can't see Steam users feeling left out (unless they use Linux, like me) , I bet a fairly big percentage of users on Steam already have the Epic Game Client installed on their PC's. Fortnite really is that big of a runaway success. I'm sure it wouldn;t take much to get people to download the Epic Game Client just for this game. They may be losing out on a bigger market, but more money made on each copy sold of Shenmue III is probably a better deal for them.
