Don't get me wrong, I agree that anyone who backed for a Steam key should get one. Not sure if a KS game has had this happen before, and that would be a bad (and illegal?) precedent to set.
RIP to kick starter as a platform for backing games from now on.
This isn't the first time. Probably not the last either.

So not even backers are receiving Steam or GOG keys?

Epic and Deep Silver do not give a shit at all do they
That's a damn good joke, pal. Keep going. You will lighten the mood here.
Maybe because it was kickstarted off of millions from fans who were told they could get a physical or digital steam tier?
Nah, they'll continue to be ''confused''.
They're trying to be cute.
It already had that safety net and promised a steam version. This is just moneyhatting from Epic. I still don't understand how people are fine with this but then again we have flat earthers, anti-vaxxers groups growing so I guess apologists just don't give a damn anymore.
They'll honour all previous orders Steam said. So maybe not get so knee jerky on your backer keys.
Already happening, people aren't even being subtle.They fucked up the backers who're promised a Steam copy and people will still be willing to back Epic just because.
"iTs jUSt a StORe tHouGh?"
I backed at the $310 level. I'll be asking for a refund. They should have no problem providing it off of the money bag they got from Epic.
This is now the third crowdfunded game to pull this after Phoenix Point and Rune 2 btw, unless i'm forgetting another one.
So is Epic interested in having their store attached to some positive news anytime soon or nah?
Yeah, no one is wrong for being disappointed on this one. Many backed steam versions specifically.
One of the two steam games I back that actually came out and it's exclusive to EGS. I really expect a refund. I'm getting a refund.
My blood pressure is rising. This should be illegal without offering a refund after all of the advertising of it being a Steam key they did in the email, and how they already finalized distribution for backers.
Doubt that. The game is mostly done and was delayed till november.
The minimum requirements in the update that was just sent out to backers says EGS account REQUIRED. No order has been placed on Steam yet.
Yeah would be a shame if I wanted to use a controller to play Shenmue on my PC, or to stream in my house.
I insist. They mentioned Steam multiple times long after the Kickstarter was closed. Anyone who decided to back the game during the Kickstarter period didn't do it on a promise of the game being on Steam.
I'm not so sure of the slacker backer campaign (which lasted longer than the Kickstarter), maybe some people would have the right to get angry if they backed then. But they are very few really.
You might be a fan but in some countries EGS isn't even available...what are those fans going to do now? Buy a PS4? lol
No Game Pass. Timmy Sweeney considers Game Pass a threat to his shitty store.
I feel like folks need to temper their rage until we get clarification on Backers getting Steam keys or being forced into EGS keys.
